Mexico City. Juan Manuel Vázquez. A good result would save the hurricane season that this year has meant for Mexican Sergio Pérez. “That would definitely change my season, which has been terrible,” he acknowledged.
“In Formula One you think you are doing things in the right direction and the results don’t come.”
“You have the car running, everything is working, you are far from the people who can correct eventualities and suddenly you have a lot of problems. But it’s the same for everyone and I know very well how this sport works,” he added. Czech prior to the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Czech He insisted on the accident he suffered at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez last year when he was just starting the race and crashed in the first corner. A contact with Charles Leclerc’s vehicle ended the Mexican’s dream of winning a race in his country.
“I took a risk and it didn’t work out, I wanted to go for the win. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone out to fight for victory and I should have just tried to get on the podium, but I wanted to give everything and in Formula One there is no return when you go for everything,” Pérez said in a press conference on Thursday. “But I have nothing to regret, sometimes things work out, sometimes they don’t.”
Perez said this time he will put everything back on the table, but whatever the outcome, he will go home happy.
The Mexican is betting above all on the challenge posed by the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez layout, whose layout and the height of Mexico City make it a test both for the driver and for the engineers of each team.
In almost all sports they put a footnote when they refer to the height of Mexico City and Formula One must also adapt its competition to these conditions. At 2,240 meters above sea level, the density of the air is 25 percent lower and therefore offers less resistance.
This represents a technical challenge for engineers who must adapt the cars to perform well and make them reliable, said Ruth Buscombe, who has been an engineer for Ferrari, Haas and Sauber.
To this they add that the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez has one of the longest straights in Formula One that allows speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour to be reached.
In that section they face the first corner, “the most notable overtaking area” in the race and right in which Czech Pérez suffered the accident in 2023 that left him out when he had only covered 800 meters in 18 seconds.
