“You’ll see, you’ll have fun, this is a Red Bull track”. Daniel Ricciardo has ‘loaded’ like this Sergio Perez during the press conference for the presentation of the Mexican Grand Prix which saw the McLaren driver sitting next to the Red Bull driver. The Milton Keynes team won the 2017 and 2018 editions with Max Verstappen, who in 2019 trashed the potential three of a kind by ringing a series of errors starting from the failure to respect the double yellow flag in qualifying – lightness costing three penalty positions on the grid. start – then passing through the no holds barred fight with Lewis Hamilton in Turn-1 (both went off the track) and with the puncture of the right rear tire remedied in a lunge on Valtteri Bottas in the tight hairpin in the stadium area.
Sergio Perez will therefore have a more than competitive car at his disposal and could thrill the Mexico City public who can’t wait to acclaim their favorite. This desire, however, clashes with the need of Red Bull and Max Verstappen not to lose any points in the fight against Lewis Hamilton for the conquest of the drivers’ title. The Dutch driver has a 12-point advantage over the seven-time world champion and every point could be decisive. Sebastian Vettel he hopes that Sergio Perez will not be stopped by any team order should he be at the head of the race. The German at the time of Red Bull did not obey the orders of the team in Malaysia, fighting hard with Mark Webber until the conquest of the position on the track despite the orders of the wall were very different.
“If Checo were to lead the race I hope he is not stopped by a team order – said Vettel – sometimes there are directives from the walls dictated by the fact that the pilots are following a different strategy, other times very simply one has to step aside to allow the other to win more points. It has already happened in the past to Bottas in favor of Hamilton and it’s not nice “.
