Perez expects support from countrymen

The Red Bull Racing driver, like Max Verstappen, is happy that the United States is hosting more races. The Miami GP is not far from home for the Mexican and it feels good especially for that reason. In a Red Bull press statement , Checo says, "One day I might even live there! It's a good market for Formula 1 and I'm sure there will be a lot of Latin Americans and Mexicans at the race. So I hope to get a lot of support from there."

The Mexican thanks his team in advance for their good work. Indeed, according to Perez, Red Bull is making sure that he and his teammate Verstappen get through the busy weekend well and can focus on racing to the maximum. Perez: "I liked the new circuit in the simulator. It could potentially be a good place to race with those long straights. I think finding the right downforce level is going to be the challenge for all the teams."
