Curiosity at the start
“Must not happen!” Perez makes a faux pas
That too! Sergio Perez started from the wrong position at his home Formula 1 race in Mexico. The Red Bull driver received a penalty from race control for this.
"That shouldn't happen to a man with his routine," said ORF commentator Ernst Hausleitner, unable to believe it. A TV replay showed that Perez had been too far forward at the start.
Race control investigated the incident, and shortly afterwards the Mexican was handed a five-second penalty. "Take a good look at that, I can't believe it," Perez radioed to the Red Bull pit.
Perez under pressure
Perez signed a new contract with Red Bull at the beginning of June, which is set to run until the end of 2026. However, it is questionable whether he will stay beyond this year; the 34-year-old has been in a performance slump for months and is only eighth in the championship standings ahead of his home Formula 1 race. His team-mate Max Verstappen leads the championship standings and is aiming for his fourth championship title in a row.
