Max Verstappen understands why Sergio Perez took a big risk at the start of the Mexico City Grand Prix, but believes his teammate could have given more space. Verstappen acknowledges that Perez was trying to make a move and be on the podium, especially in front of his home crowd. However, upon reviewing the footage, Verstappen feels that Perez could have left a bit more room for Leclerc. Verstappen himself was focused on his own battle with Leclerc and did not see the incident clearly during the race. He was not nervous during the multiple-wide situation and trusted his fellow drivers. With Perez out of the race, Verstappen went on to win his 16th race of the season, setting a new record. He is proud of the team’s performance throughout the season and their ability to minimize mistakes.
