Czech Perez he mightn’t take it anymore and at the Singapore Grand Prix he raised his voice once morest a British media that has a certain campaign once morest it. So heading into activity in Japan, the Red Bull driver continues to receive questions on this issue.
Checo considers that in Formula 1, they usually do analysis and judgments depending on nationality of the pilot in question. In his case, the Mexican stereotype falls into laziness and to prove otherwise, he has podiums and victories.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m not taken seriously. People sometimes say, ‘Well, he’s just a Mexican. He is lazy, the culture of him ‘. And it’s like just because you’re Mexican you can’t compete with the best in the world? I felt those attitudes especially in the early years. But on the other hand, it’s always nice to show that anyone can be on top“, explained Checo Pérez according to RacingNews365.
In addition, he added strength to his argument by commenting that other drivers have had similar problems this year and are not criticized in the same way. However, Checo was referring to Latinos in general and not just Mexicans.
“Every time you have a bad race or streak, with Latino drivers you hear more criticism. It’s not that the year has gone bad, but you see it with other drivers. They have similar problems and it is hardly talked regarding. I’ve felt this way throughout my career“.
