Sergio Pérez urged Mexicans to unite.

      In response to frequent criticism in the Mexican press, Cadillac driver Sergio Pérez, in an interview with the PrimeF1 channel, urged his compatriots to come together and more actively support one another…

      Sergio Pérez: “Those who write about Formula 1 are focused on the drivers and the teams. Being on the inside, you know — what is written and said about you doesn't mean much. But people on the outside often take it at face value.

      Drivers don't really worry about what's written about them, because we know the purpose behind it.

      I believe Mexicans should unite, support their athletes, their people more. We should be proud of them and support them not only in moments of success but also in case of failure. We need to take an example from other countries that manage to do this. For example, I'm impressed by Argentine fans and how they support Franco Colapinto. Franco is an excellent driver, and the whole country is behind him.

      I think we really need to learn from that. We should support not only our drivers, our footballers, our athletes. Overall, we should support each other more as Mexicans. That's something we need to improve. New generations are greatly changing this situation, but we still need to improve in that.”
