Just like a year ago, Sergio Pérez took the podium in his home race to the delight of the Mexican crowd. The driver’s father, Antonio Perez, is one of his biggest fans and is very proud of his son who has become the most successful Mexican in Formula 1 history and emphasizes that now few people in his home country can compare with Sergio in popularity.
Antonio Perez: “Everyone is excited and the whole world sees that the race that takes place in Mexico is the best! Sergio is doing a great job, it’s great for our family and for all his fans. I am very proud of my son, and the most important thing is that you can feel his oneness with the people.
Sergio does a lot for his compatriots, because you have to understand that the economy of our country is in crisis and it is very difficult for people to raise money for Grand Prix tickets. But now Sergio Perez is the most important person in Mexico. His time has come!
He became the best Mexican racer, because for the first time in history a Mexican has achieved such success. Red Bull Racing won the world championship in the team event – so Sergio can be considered a champion! He may win the title next year, but this is the first time a team with a Mexican driver has won the Constructors’ Championship.
The Mexican Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar for years to come and that is good news too. Everyone is happy – both our family and the Mexican public! Today is Mexico Day, so I invite everyone to celebrate this event!”
