Following his victory at the United States Grand Prix, Verstappen was subjected to he✃avy booing by sections of the Austin crowd who chanted Perez’s name during the podium celebrations. 

The triple world champion is expected to receive a hostile reception at this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, with Red Bull taking the step to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:hire two bodyguards to protect Versta♎ppen at Perez’s home race. 

Aไsked if he feels the rivalry could spill into something unsavoury at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Perez replied: “No, not at a෴ll.

“I think it's important that we give this message because I think the media likes to create this sort of rivalry outs♒ide the trac🐼k.

"We are a great sport, we are a great example f𝓡or a lot of younger generations. We should just be focused on the sport🍌ing side.

"Whatever happens on track should always stay th🌸ere and that's the best message we as a coun𓄧try want to give to the rest of the world.

"There is no🅰thing else going on. The most important is that everything stays on track.”

Perez added that it would be “insane” a🍸nd his “biggest dream” to win in front of his home crowd this weekend💃.

He insisted he made “a lot of progress” with his form across the Austin weekend but was unable to show his “full potential” after his Red Bull cꦗar’s 🐟set-up was compromised. 

“We made a lot of progress,” said Perez, who was promoted to fourth at the Circuit of the Americas after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s exclusion. 

“Unfortunately we didn’t get to show the full potential we had with the sprint event. We too🌱k the wrong direction with the car, like a lot of people did, like Mercedes and Ferrari.

“It’s what happens in those sort of events. We ended up taking the wrong direction with it but I believe that 🎉we made some really good progress.”
