Sergio Pérez faced off against Visa RB driver Liam Lawson during his home race in Mexico, a captivating showdown given that the young New Zealander is a potential replacement for Pérez at Red Bull next season. After a fierce battle, Lawson managed to hold onto his position, prompting a frustrated reaction from Pérez afterward: “He should adopt a more humble approach.”
Confrontation in Mexico: A Heated Exchange
The race was marked by some rough exchanges as Sergio Pérez, finishing last among drivers who completed the race due to three retirements, had to concede space to Liam Lawson. The Mexican driver took a bold stance on the track, but it resulted in a damaged sidepod. “I believe he could have avoided the incident, but he drove into me as if I were invisible,” Pérez explained post-race. “I was fortunate enough to notice in time to avoid a massive crash. Ultimately, both of our cars sustained damage,” the local hero lamented.
Lawson’s Aggressive Driving Raises Eyebrows
Pérez questioned how Lawson escaped punishment for his aggressive maneuvers, highlighting a previous incident involving Fernando Alonso: “He did the same thing last week, yet he faced no consequences.” When asked about his relationship with the young Kiwi racer, Pérez snapped, “I have no relationship with him at all. Personally, I believe he possesses the wrong mindset for Formula 1. He certa.comy needs to show a bit more humility.”
The Importance of Respect in Racing
Pérez reflected on a previous instance where a two-time world champion advised Lawson on his aggressive tactics, underscoring the need for respect within the sport. “He completely disregarded that advice. It’s natural to be eager when you first enter Formula 1, but maintaining respect is also crucial,” Pérez stated. Ironically, after his clash with Pérez, Lawson even gestured with his middle finger toward the Mexican driver. “That kind of behavior does not display the appropriate attitude,” Pérez remarked. “Let’s hope he can take a step back and learn from this experience.”
