Kada Sárközi joined GPblog as an editor ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season. He graduated with a BA in Sports Journalism in the UK and has covered Grands Prix and other F1 events live.

A somewhat surprising reaction from the Sergio Perez fans present in large numbers followed after the Mexico Grand Prix. Not Max Verstappen, but Charles Leclerc was booed by the Mexican Formula 1 fans. However, it went further than that: serious incidents of Ferrari fans being attacked were reported on the internet. Fortunately, there were other F1 fans who intervened.

Some booing of Leclerc as he is asked about the collision with Perez. There's also footage circulating of two Ferrari fans in the Foro Sol being attacked (and then defended by those around). Hopefully an isolated incident #F1 #MexicoGP
