From criticism to homophobic attack. The uncertain future of driver Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) inspired Ralf Schumacher, former driver and now consultant on Sky Sport. The German explained that the Mexican could have been kicked out of his team during the Mexican Grand Prix at the end of October.
Words that did not delight Antonio Pérez, the father of 11e of the Brazilian Grand Prix, who declared to ESPN : “There was a driver, or a journalist, a former Formula 1 driver, who first claimed that Checo had been fired from Red Bull, and then the following week he came out. I don’t know, maybe he’s in love with Checo? There’s a lot of strange things happening. We no longer know if it is a journalist, a woman or a man. But even his words are questionable, not because of Checo, but because of what his ex-wife said about him. »
“A very emotional man”
Pérez refers to the recent coming out from Schumacher, who responded to him with class on social networks. “I would also support my son 100% if I were in his place. However, when it comes to style, I would differ. Mr. Pérez is a very emotional man, but I don’t blame him. However, I think that the results on the track remain the best arguments. »
Sergio Pérez was extended this summer for two years, until 2026, within the Austrian Red Bull team.
