With just one week separating the Mexican Grand Prix and this week's Brazilian Grand Prix, here is everything you need to look out for this weekend.
Home Race Horror Show
Just one week ago, the whole country of Mexico eagerly awaited the start of the Mexican Grand Prix weekend. Hopes were high for the homegrown talent, Sergio Perez. Like his 2023 season, however, it all went wrong very quickly. Mexico was what many considered, his final opportunity. Red Bull has a history of dismissing drivers with and without justified reasoning. Consequently, this paints a big red target on the 33-year-old's back. This weekend at Interlagos is critical for his future in the sport.Max Verstappen has finished ahead of Perez by over 15 seconds at 9 of the last 12 races they’ve both finished. That statistic alone shows the class of his own that Verstappen has graduated into over the past year. Perez is not a slow driver, nor inexperienced. The task of playing second driver to a competitor like Max Verstappen has broken every teammate the Dutchman has had since joining Formula One in 2015.
Everyone Loves Brazil
So why is the Brazilian Grand Prix one of the most anticipated races on the calendar? The infamous 2008 showdown that cost Felipe Massa his first chance at a world title is by far the most famous. In 2012, championship leader Sebastien Vettel was taken out and had to come back through the pack to win and claim his third driver's world championship. 2021 saw Lewis Hamilton come from the very rear of the field to win in a dominant showing of what the W12 was capable of.The Brazilian Grand Prix is held in high esteem with a lot of Formula One fans. Brazil has this magic that Formula One capitalises on. The layout is iconic with the same venue being used as far back as 1972. George Russell was last year's winner, who do you think will take the top spot this year? Let us know in the poll above!
