The Anticipation Builds for Checo in Mexico
Sergio Pérez experienced a disheartening home race last year, completing less than a kilometer before a premature exit after an incident with Charles Leclerc. This year, the Mexican crowd is eager for redemption, and sports channel Fox is already stirring excitement for the upcoming event.
Setting the Stage for the Mexican Grand Prix
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Mexican Grand Prix, Fox Sports continuously broadcasts promotional clips featuring Pérez, exuding confidence as he gazes steadfastly into the camera. This is a man on a mission! Pérez, however, hopes for better luck than last year and also better performance than in Austin, where he struggled to overtake Yuki Tsunoda and was eventually passed by George Russell, who had started from the pit lane.
In a post-race statement, Max Verstappen’s teammate admitted to feeling ‘trapped’ in the midfield, a revealing comment highlighting his struggles. It seems Pérez has yet to master the art of overtaking, despite ample opportunities at the Circuit of the Americas. One has to wonder if anyone at Red Bull still values his apologies. His position seems increasingly precarious as team principal Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko consistently issue reminders for improvement. However, performance has not seen the necessary elevation, which could jeopardize Red Bull’s chances for the constructors’ title and ultimately impact their lucrative stake in the Formula 1 prize pool.
The Home Crowd and Future Outlook
The upcoming race might provide a much-needed boost to Pérez’s reputation. Nevertheless, it could also turn out to be his final appearance before local fans, even though he is contracted with Red Bull through the end of 2026. Still, in Mexico, the support for Pérez is unwavering. The Austin race served as a sort of home event due to the significant Mexican community in Texas, but in the heart of Mexico City, fans proudly donned blue shirts and caps emblazoned with the number 11. Over the race weekend, expect the fans to rally behind him as fervently as Max Verstappen’s fans do in Zandvoort.
An Unforgettable Experience in Mexico City
The Mexican Grand Prix is part of a triple-header series occurring over three consecutive weekends. For those considering an international race experience, this one is highly recommended. The atmosphere at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is simply electric; everywhere you turn, entertainment awaits, and the prices for food and drink remain reasonable—.comike the inflated costs found at many other Grand Prix events. You will need to acclimate to the altitude, as the thin air can be challenging in the days leading up to the race. Additionally, it’s wise to avoid certain areas.

Moreover, Mexico City transforms into a vast open-air stage. The plethora of historic landmarks is impressive, but the street scenes are equally captivating. Along the bustling Av. Francisco Madero leading to the iconic Plaza de la Constitución, enthusiastic vendors beckon shoppers inside their stores. Notably, a remarkable number of blind singers adorn the streets, passionately performing classic Mexican songs, equipped with a speaker and microphone in hand, alongside a donation container and cane—often adorned with a blue cap featuring number 11.
In Mexico, it’s undeniable: everyone is a fan of Checo.
