Red Bull Motorsports adviser Helmut Marko has apologized for his comment about the team’s Mexican driver. Sergio Perez .
After the Italian Grand Prix, Marco said Pérez was inferior to fellow Red Bull driver Max Verstappen because he was “not as focused” on the track. Marco explained this by saying that Pérez is a “South American”, even though Mexico belongs to North America.
– Regarding my statement released on September 4, I would like to apologize for my insulting statement. And I would like to clarify that we cannot afford to generalize about people based on their nationality or race.
In this case, I was just trying to convey the idea that this year Cheko is performing unevenly, but it was a mistake on my part to somehow link this to cultural heritage,” Marco quotes racefans.net .
Verstappen tops the F1 driver standings this season with 364 points. Perez is in second place with 219 points.
