Sergio Perez accused Liam Lawson of having a disrespectful attitude towards senior drivers after a crash at the Mexican Grand Prix, urging Red Bull to intervene. However, Christian Horner’s initial reaction suggests Perez’s concerns about Lawson may not be addressed. The collision occurred as Perez was passing Lawson for 10th place, leading to damage on Perez’s car and hindering his pace for the race. Both drivers criticized each other over team radio, with Perez questioning Lawson’s driving and behavior. Perez emphasized the need for respect on and off the track in Formula 1 and suggested Lawson might need to adjust his approach to avoid a short F1 career. Despite Perez’s call for Red Bull management to address the situation, Horner indicated that the teams are independent entities when it comes to racing each other.
