In the Mexican Grand Prix, despite the results of the second practice, Checo Pérez remains one of the favorites for the podium. The support from the local fans and his experience on the circuit are factors working in his favor. However, to achieve a good result at home, Pérez must find a way to improve his pace and overtake his rivals.
The second free practice at the Mexican Grand Prix left a bittersweet taste for Checo Pérez. Although he showed good pace at times, he did not achieve the consistency needed to compete for the top spots. Nevertheless, there is still time to improve and aim for a place on the podium.
At the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, during the second free practice session, Sergio "Checo" Pérez had ups and downs. After a competitive Friday in the first free practice, he could not maintain the same speed in the second session and finished in ninth place.
The second practice, which included a red flag due to George Russell's impact, allowed the teams to test 2025 tires. However, it was not as productive for Checo Pérez, as he did not manage to significantly improve his time. Although he started the session with a promising pace, he was overtaken by his main rivals, such as the Ferrari drivers, including Carlos Sainz, who took the provisional pole.
Pérez's lack of pace could be related to various factors, such as the car's setup or track conditions. Nevertheless, the Red Bull team will work intensively to make the necessary adjustments and improve the performance of the Mexican driver ahead of the qualifying and the race.
