Perez strike first blow in Mexico: Verstappen loses again

Max Verstappen is currently the best racing driver in the world. On the sim, the three-time F1 champion also stands his ground. But in other sports, the Dutchman finds it a lot harder. Recently, for instance, he lost a padel match to Charles Leclerc. On the eve of the Mexican Grand Prix, Verstappen was also active in a sport other than racing. In a football match, he went down against - precisely - teammate Sergio Perez.

Verstappen and Perez were both present at a football match. Initially, both Red Bull drivers did not participate, but they were up for a series of shoot-outs against each other. Perez was goalkeeper against Verstappen first, and he managed to outsmart his colleague. Then it was Verstappen's turn, face to face with Perez. Verstappen failed to outsmart the Mexican.

Whether it will be like this again next weekend at the Mexican Grand Prix? Perez wholeheartedly hopes to be the best in his home country, but Verstappen certainly has no intention of giving the win away. The Grand Prix weekend begins today with media commitments.
