In a recent interview on﷽ Red Bull-owned Servus TV, Marko made reference to Perez's country of origin - albeit incorrectly as Mexico isn’t in South America - as a reason for his inconsiste♛nt form.

He was quoted as saying: “Let’s remember that he is South American, and so heꦯ is not as focused as Max Verstappen or Sebastian Vettel w♏as.

“But racing is his forte, and he had a very goo♛d race. Overtaking three drﷺivers, in George Russell and the Ferraris, was not easy.”

Marko has now apologised for the a�💦�forementioned comment.

The statement read: “I would like to apologise for my offensive remark and want to make it absolutely clear that I do not believe that we can genera൩lise about the 🏅people from any country, any race, any ethnicity.

“I was trying to make a point that Checo has fluctuated in his performance this year, 🌟but it was wrong to attribute this to his cultural heritage.”

Perez sits 145 points behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in the F1 championship standings.
