Runner-up in the race, the seven-time world champion expressed bitterness over a tire strategy that he claimed was wrong: “Mexico gave us a lot of love, I was close to Red Bull but they were fast. They had a better strategy with the tires. Tires. The choice of medium at the beginning was not positive, we should have started with the soft ones. Then with the hard ones the car was not well balanced “.

“I did my best at the start. We went off the track slightly, it was difficult to follow Hamilton,” said home hero Sergio Perez. “I had to settle for third place. I thought I was closer but still it’s a nice podium, I wanted more but third place is positive. My people are incredible: thank you very much for the support to all the fans”, he concluded .
