“Checo” recounted the intensity of the race at Monza and the tough battle he had to overtake the Ferrari drivers and Russell. His improvement on the track is evident, and his contribution to the Red Bull team is increasingly notable. in this exciting Formula 1 season.
“It was an intense fight with Carlos, with Charles, with George, especially the two Ferraris, when I had Carlos’s DRS it was very difficult to attack, I couldn’t do anything until I was finally able to overcome him and I was able to attack Carlos but they were very, very tough battles, because with this new generation of cars they put the car in the middle, it had nowhere to go and then it had to downgrade quite a bit., it had very good satellite dishes but in the end it was not enough; but overall happy because it was a good race, a clean race and I think we can do well,” said Pérez Mendoza.
