Since down to the F1 season, there is no victory can be achieved Perez. But this season the 22 year old Mexican rider that has shown positive progress compared to his debut season.

If last season's best achievement Perez is just one finish in the top eight, this season he has three podium finishes - twice finishing in the top two and once in the top three.

That is why McLaren seemed quite optimistic about the chances Perez next season. He even predicted to be straight win in his debut at the Australian Grand Prix with McLaren next season.

"Sergio was so young and we hope to spend the winter with her busy to prepare," said McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh on ESPN F1.

"If we gave him a pretty good car, he could have just appeared in Australia to pursue victory. I think he is the one who learns quickly and, of course, time will tell, but we feel optimistic and ambitious about her next season," he said.

Michael Schumacher retired
 For the second time in his career, Michael Schumacher retired from F1 racing. The decision was taken after he was thrown from the Mercedes team.

Decisions will be made the owner of seven racers F1 world titles had been much predicted earlier. Schumacher no longer has a team because Mercedes decided to give their car cockpit for Lewis Hamilton, who officially signed last week, to accompany Nico Rosberg.

"Let me start today with a little clarification and an announcement, in which it is closely related to my future and was not a surprise anymore," said 43-year rider opened the press conference.

"I have decided to retire at the end of this year, although I was still able to compete with the best riders of today. But at some point, it helps me to stop and that's what I'll do at the end of the season, and perhaps the decision is valid forever, "continued the man from the German.

This is the second Schumacher retired from F1. The first occurred in 2006, when he decided to stop his career from the Ferrari team. In 2010 he made his comeback with Mercedes in the team.

Schumacher was never again able to repeat the great achievements in F1. For three seasons strengthen Mercedes, his best achievement was sitting third on the podium at the 2012 European Grand Prix last year.

"In the last few months I was not too sure if they have the motivation and energy for the race. I never decide anything if it's not 100% sure. These days with my decision, I felt I was free of all doubt and in the end of the day, I will try to keep winning, "completion
