Perez suffered a heartbreaking first-lap DNF in Mexico City when he tangled with polesitter168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc while challenging the Ferrari driver and Red Bull teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at Turn 1. 

After making a brilliant start frꦓom fourth, the Mexican attempted to sweep around the outside as the trio went three-wide for the lead into thౠe right-hander, but ended up colliding with Leclerc. 

Perez’s Red Bull was dramatically sent airborne and despite managing to crawl back to the pits, he was forced t🌃o retire due to the damage on his RB19.

Red Bull team principal Horner felt Perez, who is under pressure to retain his se🧔at for 2024, could not be blamed for going for the lead. 

“Very contrasting,” Horner told Sky. “Anoth🍃er amazing race from Max,𒀰 total and utter dominance. 

“But for Checo, just ab🎉solutely gu♔tting at his home race. He had a rocketship launch.

“He had so much momentum going into that first corner, you can’t blame him for going for it, to try and꧑ take the lead at his home race.” 

Asked whether he needs to sit down and have a conversation with Perez, Horner replied: “He’s got 13 years of experience in F1 and I think when you’re going throug🐽h a difficult moment, it’s important to s🌠upport him.

“He was having a great weekend until that point.

"He was going for the lead at his home race, in Mexico City, with a crowd that has꧂ insane sup๊port behind him.

“Three-into-one doesn’t go and unfort🍃unately he was on the wrong side of it."
