After appearing like he had finally turned a corner, Sergio Perez’s home F1 race quickly descended into a nightmare at a time he can ill-afford it.
Perez’s world came crashing down around him - quite literally - when a risky attempt to take the lead of the Mexico City Grand Prix backfired and ended up in a heartbreaking retirement.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said he “can’t blame” Perez for trying the sort of ambitious move that hinted at a driver who is desperate to impress.Horner takes note of Ricciardo performance with ‘back to old self’ verdict The Australian ran comfortably inside the top five until an ill-timed red flag hampered him, though he was still able to take seventh, and was a lap short of snatching sixth from Mercedes’
Horner’s final comment was a reference to Ricciardo’s previous spell at Red Bull. Since Ricciardo left, the three drivers to occupy his former seat have not been able to get as close to Verstappen as he did. “It was a tough moment for him in front of his home crowd and he was very emotional, but he wouldn’t be a racing driver if he didn’t go for the lead at his home race. It is a big loss for him in a car that was capable of being on the podium.
