Sergio Pérez is not pleased with the statements made about his infection with the corona virus. The Mexican has read everything in his quarantine period and is therefore furious and disappointed.
Pérez was tested for the corona virus on arrival at Silverstone and the result turned out to be incorrect. Thus, the Racing Pointdriver do a second test, which showed that he had become infected with the corona virus. Pérez was immediately quarantined and had to watch both Grands Prix at Silverstone from the isolation. Pérez said almost immediately that he did not know how he had contracted the corona virus, because he has observed all measures. Ziggo reporter Jack Plooij, however, did not believe this and indicated that it was his own fault that he had been infected. In addition, Plooij also had another theory, namely that Pérez was not with his mother, but that he was with his manager to see which team he would switch to. Pérez has read all the rumors and is furious.

“That’s a big lie,” he tells opposite F1. “I went to Mexico for two days to see my mother and took all precautions. I took care of everything and followed all guidelines.” The comments of the press have not gone unnoticed by the Mexican. “When I was in quarantine, I saw everything. I saw people say that I took selfies with a lot of people, that I made up the story about my mother. So much nonsense and it’s so disrespectful.”
“So many people here in Formula 1 tend to think that they are not affected by the virus and they are not. We are all very vulnerable to this and we have to watch out for it,” he explains. I have done nothing different from the others in this paddock. I took all precautions and it just happened to me. “Pérez knows what happened:” If someone else is infected tomorrow, people just make up stories instead of worrying about their health. “
