We will see not only Sergio Perez, but also father Antonio Perez Garibay in action during the Mexican Grand Prix weekend. Indeed, the 63-year-old Mexican will get behind the wheel of a car in the Supercopa MX championship at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez. He announced this himself via Instagram.

Perez Sr. owes his participation to his friend Jeronimo De Yturbe and the Alpha Racing team. "I am looking forward to it, and the best is yet to come," he wrote on social media.

Antonio Perez dreamed of becoming a racing driver as a child. He succeeded, although he was not particularly successful. He competed once at Daytona and he became national champion in the Marlboro Cup in 1987. However, a severe back injury ended his driving career, although he did remain involved in motorsport as a representative of Adrian Fernandez and Tomas Lopez Rocha, among others.
