Sergio Perez to Haas? The paddock is talking about this

WINNING RECORD: Michael Schumacher's gigantic record of 91 victories seemed to many to be something that would last forever. Lewis Hamilton could set this record in Sochi – and then surpass it two weeks later at the Nürburgring in Germany, of all places. Hamilton said before the Russian race that he had long felt “pure admiration” for Schumacher. He hadn't yet grasped the significance of the milestone. “It’s no different for me than other weekends, I just want to work my butt off,” said the 35-year-old. The Brit won four of the six guest games in Sochi. Only Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas can stop the World Cup leader this time. “I’ll try not to let it happen this weekend,” promised the Finn. REQUEST CONCERT: The recent spectacle in Mugello and the nostalgic trips to the Nürburgring and Imola that soon followed have sparked suggestions for a calendar rotation. More often somewhere else, more often on former traditional courses - that's the idea. But the pilots probably have no say in this. “We would also like to drive on other routes, but that’s not something we’re even discussing. We are not part of these discussions, there are other interests,” said Sebastian Vettel, who is one of the directors of the drivers’ union GPDA. JOB SEARCH: Sergio Perez has to vacate his cockpit with the future Aston Martin factory team for Sebastian Vettel for the new season. The US team Haas (with Günther Steiner from Meran as team boss) is mentioned as the new employer, which, like Alfa Romeo, has not yet named a driver for next year. There could be clarity in the next week, said Perez in Sochi. The Mexican, whose contract was terminated prematurely, is not angry with Vettel. “I have nothing against him. He's a super guy, a great driver. “I’ve been in this business for a long time and understand the motivations, so I don’t hold grudges,” Perez asserted. SETTLEMENT: Fernando Alonso is getting ready for his return to Formula 1. This week the Spaniard visited the Renault factories in Enstone and Viry-Chatillon. “It was like the first day of school,” said the two-time world champion. Alonso will soon be seen at the race track for an inspection. “I think the team is well positioned for the future,” said the 39-year-old, who will be racing in the Renault again next year.
