Under-pressure Sergio Perez out of home race after first-corner crash in F1 Mexico City GP
The Mexican’s race lasted just a handful of seconds before he was dramatically sent airborne after being tagged by Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari as he challenged forꦕ the lead at Turn 1.
Perez was attempting to swee🦩p around the outside as he went three-wide with Leclerc and Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen at the first turn, but made contact with Leclerc.&🔥nbsp;
Perez was able to limp back to the pits but was unable to get back ou💮t due to his car being too badly damaged.
"That's just what happens if you try to g🌠o around the outside into Turn One,” said F1 co-commentator Martin Brundle.
"Leclerc can't go any further 🐼right and look at the damage on the sidepod on Perez'💎s car.”
Perez went into the race holding a 39-point advantage over Mercede💞s’ Lewis Hamilton in the battle for second place in the drivers’ championship.
Hamilton fღinished as runner-up, behind race winneꦬr Max Verstappen.
