Checo Perez is preparing his return to Formula 1 with Cadillac full of excitement and desire to prove that he is still in top form to compete with the best. The Mexican has many fans who idolize him, but also many detractors within the Formula 1 paddock, real enemies who are waiting for him to fail. That is why Sergio wants to silence all those who celebrated his departure from Red Bull last December.
1. DAD VERSTAPPEN
Checo Pérez trains with Cadillac F1 simulator and sparks buzz after unexpected clip
Jos Verstappen is one of those characters who spent the last few years criticising Sergio Perez, believing that he was detrimental to his son. Max Verstappen’s father showed more than one lack of respect for the Mexican’s driving and never had a kind word of encouragement for him.
2. HELMUT MARKO
The Austrian is one of Red Bull’s heavyweights and, like Verstappen’s father, always spoke disparagingly of Sergio Perez. He always criticised him and never supported him. Everyone agrees that Marko was key to Checo leaving the team despite having another year on his contract. Surely the Mexican will want to prove to him with Cadillac that he was completely wrong.
3. RED BULL
Checo left the Austrian team in a bad way. He was fired when he had one more year on his contract. The team succumbed to the terrible pressures it was under and the truth is that the decision is proving to be wrong, as first Lawson and now Tsunoda are not living up to expectations. Checo was clearly better than these two drivers. That’s why the Mexican will probably want to show his best side to make it very clear that they were wrong.
4. LIAN LAWSON
The current Racing Bulls driver was the one who replaced Checo at Red Bull, but he only lasted two races due to his poor performance. Ironically, he has been one of the most critical of Checo’s return to Formula 1, mainly because he believes that Cadillac should focus on young drivers and not someone so veteran. It is another reason for the Mexican to try to silence him next season.
5. GABRIEL BORTOLETO
The Brazilian driver is another who agrees with Lawson’s idea that Cadillac has made a mistake in hiring such veteran drivers as Checo and Bottas. He understands that they should have given the Formula 2 winner a chance. Logically, Checo will want to prove him wrong.
6. ROBERT DOORNBOS
The former Dutch driver, Verstappen’s compatriot, has been very harsh in his criticism of Checo in his last season in Formula 1. He even mocked him on more than one occasion and tried to ridicule him in his comparison with Max. He is another example of those components of the F1 circus who are sure to have been upset by Checo’s return and another one that the Mexican will want to silence.
