Sergio Perez is excited to partner Esteban Ocon at Force India next year, saying everything he has heard about the Frenchman has been very impressive.Ocon will replace Renault-bound Nico Hulkenberg next year after spending half of 2016 at Manor, where he replaced Rio Haryanto in Belgium.

The team was very impressed and enthusiastic. They really liked his personality -- the way he interacts with the team, the feedback he gives and he is meant to be very easy to work with. The team was always very happy when they spoke about him.I had three great years with Nico and I learn a lot from him and now I look forward to learning a lot from Esteban. It is always good to learn things from different drivers. I have been very lucky to have very talented drivers next to me and so now having Esteban, it is a great opportunity to learn new things from a young driver.Ocon has already been told he and Perez, who joined Force India in 2014, will be treated as equals next year. Perez is happy to help Ocon at any opportunity as he knows it will benefit the team.I will be open to learn from him and if he is the same, it is up to him. If he wants to learn, I will be totally open as I have been with all of my teammates. I just want to obviously beat him but work together a lot for the team. I think that is very important and it has worked really well the last few years with Nico and myself, pushing each other on track, but off track always helping the team to go forward.
