Checo Perez and the record he ‘snatches’ from Michael Schumacher in Formula 1
The Mexican climbed up a step in the all-time points table
Despite a number of criticisms during his time at Red Bull, Sergio Perez has accumulated enough points to move into eighth place all-time.
After the six points from the Sprint plus the 15 he scored in the Chinese GP race, Checo reached 1,571 points in his 14-year Formula 1 career, putting him ahead of Michael Schumacher, who finished with 1,566.
The Mexican now trails Nico Rosberg, who leads him in seventh place by 23.5 points.
Schumacher experienced a points-less F1 era
While Schumacher’s seven world titles are in the recent memory of Formula 1 fans, his era did not see as many points being handed out.
