P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Whilst the car damage sustained by the Red Bull driver put him out of the race, there was damage caused to other parties, as pointed out by former F1 driver-turned-pundit Martin Brundle.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle expressed his disappointment over Sergio Perez’s first corner crash at the Mexico City Grand Prix, stating that it was the “last thing” that Perez, Red Bull, and the race promoter needed. Perez’s presence on the grid was highly anticipated and added to the festival-like atmosphere of the event. However, Perez’s performance has been inconsistent since winning two races earlier in the season, leading to speculation about his future with Red Bull. Despite an improved qualifying performance, Perez’s attempt to take the lead at the first corner resulted in contact and forced him into retirement. Brundle explained that Perez had made two errors in assuming that his rivals would brake earlier and turning into the corner too aggressively. He believed that Perez should have taken a wider line around the outside to gain an advantage in the chicane. Overall, the crash was seen as a disappointment for Perez, his team, and the fans.
