In his home race, the Mexican was the focus of teammate Max Verstappen’s title fight.
On Wednesday morning, Sergio “Chico” Perez raced through the heart of the capital at a show event at Red Bull — and he apologized in advance for the inconvenience.
“I have seen some people get angry with me. But it will be a moment when we all have a lot of fun.” This should also apply to racing on Sunday at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Chances of success are good. “Theoretically, the height in Mexico should suit us,” said Helmut Marko, director of Red Bull Motorsport, after the double podium at the US Grand Prix in Austin (Texas).
He’s always finding his shape, and at this point in the year that’s very important to us.
In the tight title duel between Red Bull Star Max Verstappen and world record champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), every detail counts. The fact that Perez’s shape curve rises sharply in time for the season’s final boom is just right.
The 31-year-old recently stood on the podium twice, adding to the pressure on Hamilton. “He’s always finding his shape, and at this point in the year that’s crucial for us,” said team boss Christian Horner.
