Sergio Perez will be keen to consolidate his spot on the 2022 Drivers' Championship standings by winning the
United States Grand Prix.
The Red Bull Racing-RBPT driver had a memorable race at last year's United States Grand Prix as he finished third having started third on the grid.
Perez narrowly missed out on the most recent race in the current season which was the Japanese Grand Prix on October 9 and he scooped the runner-up spot.

The Mexican star battled with Charles Leclerc who encountered tyre struggles and the Ferrari driver dropped in pace allowing Perez to rapidly reel him in and ultimately finish in second place.
Perez's Red Bull Racing teammate Max Verstappen won the Japanese Grand Prix as the Austrian Formula One racing team enjoyed a successful race in Japan.
The 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix winner is now placed second on the 2022 Drivers' Championship standings, but he is followed closely by Leclerc with the runner-up spot up for grabs.
Perez will open a gap between himself and his rivals Leclerc and Mercedes' George Russell if he wins the United States Grand Prix for the first time in his career.

"Certainly a great result for Honda, for all the Japanese fans who have been amazing," Perez said after the Japanese Grand Prix.
"It's a great day for the team now that Max [Verstappen] has become champion, it is certainly a massive day for all of us.
"It was certainly nice, we have to keep the momentum going into the end of the season."
Red Bull Racing-RBPT are close to clinching the Constructors' Championship having accumulated 619 points and they are followed by Ferrari with 454 points and Mercedes with 387 points respectively.
