Red Bull Racing’s Sergio Perez had his day at his home race – the Mexico City Grand Prix – come to a sudden and unfortunate end before even completing the first turn. At the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Perez started the race P5 and got a great jump off the line. Perez turned across Leclerc’s Ferrari – with his right rear tire clipping Leclerc’s front left. Perez hasn’t claimed the top spot on the podium since Azerbaijan and has claimed three P2 finishes and two P3 finishes. Perez has had a particularly tough go of it in the past five races – with two retirements, including this one.
