What exactly did Helmut Marko say about Sergio Perez? In Marko’s initial comments, he highlighted Perez’s exceptional performance during the Italian Grand Prix. Perez had fought his way to a remarkable second-place finish, ahead of the two Ferraris, at Monza. This achievement was second only to Max Verstappen’s victory in the race.
Marko praised Perez’s performance but made controversial comments suggesting that Perez’s cultural background might be affecting his performance in qualifying. He stated, “Let’s remember that he is South American, and so his head is not as focused as Max Verstappen or as Sebastian Vettel was, but racing is his forte, and he had a very good race.”
