P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Sergio Perez has had his mentality questioned following his “uncharacteristic” and costly error at the start of the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver, Sergio Perez, crashed out at Turn 1 during his home race after attempting a risky maneuver to take the lead on the opening lap. He collided with Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari, causing him to fly off the track and retire from the race. Despite the championship already being settled, Perez’s mistake was highlighted as a “lose-lose” situation for him. The incident not only affected his chances of a podium finish but also raised questions about his future at Red Bull. The performance of Daniel Ricciardo, who outperformed Perez in qualifying and the race, gives Red Bull further reason to consider promoting Ricciardo to Perez’s seat in 2024.
