Antonio Pérez, father of F1 driver Sergio Pérez, attacked Ralf Schumacher, former Formula 1 driver, now a television consultant.
Ralf Schumacher, former F1 driver, recently became interested in the fate of Sergio Pérez at Red Bull. According to the German, the Mexican driver could have been landed by Red Bull before or after his national Grand Prix. However, against all expectations, Sergio Pérez is still at the wheel of Red Bull and even seems well placed to return in 2025.
Sergio Pérez's statements probably touched or upset the father of the Mexican pilot. More than limited declarations…
“Many media outlets said he was no longer racing in Mexico or saying goodbye to Mexico, they should at least apologize”Antonio Pérez told ESPN.
“There is a driver who was in Formula 1 and is now a journalist, who first said that Checo had already left Red Bull and who, in the following weeks, came out of the closet. I don't know if he was in love with Checo.”
“There are a lot of strange things and we don't know if it's a journalist, if it's a woman or a man, but his word is doubted. Not because of Checo Perez, but because of his wife and what he said”, concluded the father of the Mexican pilot.

Ralf Schumacher's intelligent response
For his part, on his social networks, Ralf Schumacher preferred to weigh his words or simply think, before responding to Sergio Pérez's father.
« I would also support my son 100% and try to help him. This is what you do as a father. As for the style, I would differ but we know Mr. Perez with all his emotions. That's why I'm not angry with him. However, I think that the results on the track would be the best arguments“, wrote Schumacher on his Instagram account.
