Mexico’s Sergio “Checo” Pérez (Cadillac), who starts 19th this Sunday in the Japanese Grand Prix, the third of the F1 (Formula One) World Championship, said at the Suzuka circuit that “the result and the position is positive for the team (debuting this season)”, but that they still have “more potential”.
“The result and the position is good for the team, but we still have more potential,” explained Checo, born in Guadalajara (Jalisco) 36 years ago, runner-up in the world championship three years ago and who, after one absence, returned this year to the premier class, where he has six victories and 39 podiums.
“Admits power failures.”
“We’ve had some issues with power management.”
“I hope we can optimize it tomorrow, as there is a lot of time we have to gain,” the brave driver from Guadalajara commented in Suzuka.
