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

After making a brilliant st𝔍art from fourth, the Mexican attempted to sweep around the outside as the trio went three-wiꦇde for the lead into the 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 to retire due to the damage on his RB19.

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

“Very contrasting,” Horner told Sky. “Another amazing race fro🃏♔m Max, total and utter dominance. 

“But for C♏heco, just absolutely gutting 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 and take the lead at hisꩲ home race.”&nbsꦚp;

Asked whether he needs to sit down an🔴d have a con꧂versation with Perez, Horner replied: “He’s got 13 years of experience in F1 and I think when you’re going through a difficult moment, it’s important to support him.

“He was having a great weekend until that point.

"He was going for the lead at 𓆉his home race, in Mexico City,🌼 with a crowd that has insane support behind him.

“Three-into-one doesn’t go and unfortunately he was on th🔥e wrong side of it."
