Tthe day has come, this Friday the activities begin at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which will vibrate with the roar of engines during the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Mexican fans are ready to give their full support Czech Perezwho is the country’s most victorious F1 driver and who was instrumental in securing the return of the ‘Gran Circo’ to Mexico City in 2015 after a 23-year absence.
It will do Tapatio’s driver good to have the support of his world because, as the AP recalls, he has had a difficult year: no win since April, constant criticism that he cannot keep up with his team-mate. Max Verstappenoffhand comments about his legacy from a team official and speculation of a pending retirement or split from the team after this season.
The current F1 season has started very well for Checo, with two wins in the first four races and even talk of a title fight.
But Max Verstappen soon put an end to that, winning 10 races in a row and the Dutch driver now has a record 15 wins this season after winning the United States Grand Prix last week.
This weekend, Perez he will try to realize one of his long-time dreams: to win the Mexican GP in front of his home crowd.
“It’s a moment I’ve been dreaming of all my life, winning at home would be the most special grand prix, the one I’d like to win more than anything.” Czech he said of a possible win at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
“All my family will be here all week and I would love to see me win in front of all my people and country who have been unconditionally with me.”
