Sergio Perez Faces Challenges at Mexico GP

Sergio Perez, facing a difficult season with Red Bull due to technical issues with his RB20 car, qualified P18 for his home race at the Mexico City Grand Prix, citing unresolved braking problems as the cause. Despite his struggles, the local fanbase remains robust, with organizers confident that the event will continue to be a sell-out success even if Perez's future with Red Bull is uncertain. Perez has expressed hope that fellow Mexican driver Pato O'Ward will join F1 permanently, adding to the presence of Mexican drivers in the sport. The Mexico City Grand Prix has seen consistent high demand, with organizers planning to extend their contract with F1 beyond Perez's career. While Perez's performance has been under scrutiny, the event's appeal seems to transcend his presence, thanks to a strong local interest in Formula 1. This year, O'Ward will participate in FP1, marking a rare occasion with two Mexican drivers on the grid.
