Sergio Perez is knocking on the door of his Formula One debut.
GP2 Series driver Perez, with the backing of the telecommunications giant Telmex, was linked last winter with the available pay-drives at F1's new teams.
And according to the latest whispers, the 20-year-old Mexican may have now attracted the interest of the struggling Virgin team.
The currently Richard Branson-backed outfit is struggling for performance and reliability with a budget of less than $40 million, and Timo Glock is now being linked with a move for 2011.
The Perez rumors might be linked with the appearance in the Silverstone paddock on Saturday and Sunday of Carlos Slim.
Mexican Slim, one of the world's richest men, is the CEO and chairman of Telmex, which may be looking to graduate from GP2 to Formula One.
It is also believed the Perez push into F1 is supported by Jo Ramirez, the retired long time team coordinator at McLaren who was seen in the F1 paddock recently at Valencia.
