i think Perez is just young enough to not be intimidated by Alonso's perceived number 1 status within the team.

and the upside is that if he can match or even come close to Alonso despite not getting as much support from the team (although i think Massa gets more of that at the moment) or inherits a car not built around his needs then his value goes up big time.

if he's the driver people thinks or hopes he is then he has to take the chance imo.
