Mexico City, May 30th, 2016.
Podium for “Checo Perez" during the unforgettable Grand Prix de Monaco
- Sergio Perez finishes 3rd and reaches the podium, while Red Bull gives away the victory to Hamilton
In the course of championship 2016, each race of FORMULA 1® has been more entertained than the previous one. As expected, in Monte Carlo the excitement was lived again with a competition that witnessed almost everything.
For the Mexican fans it has been a passionate Grand Prix that kept them excited, until the appearance of the checkered flag. With Sergio “Checo” Perez on the third position most part of the race, any mistake on the score would have meant the biggest victory for the driver from Guadalajara. However, the inspired journey concluded with a podium for the Mexican of Force India, who keeps preparing the scenario towards and exciting FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE MEXICO 2016

In addition and not less important, Esteban Gutierrez loitered the point field, on board his Haas, finishing in the end in the 12th position.
In the principality Lewis Hamilton has been the main character, who started from the third line and finished on the highest place – leaving behind his teammate and opponent from Mercedes team, Nico Rosberg. In the end, taking into account the incident between both of them in Barceloa, today scores address the British to Montreal in order to give continuity to the duel between these two championship leaders.
The Australian Daniel Ricciardo, who finished second and whose luck has turned away from him this year lived a day full of thrills. After he experienced a flat tyre to the end of the previous race, now it was a mistake on the pits stop of one of the Red Bull’s member what took the victory from his hands. By not having set the four spare tyres, the Austrian team gave Hamilton the victory away, losing the chance of getting a second consecutive victory.
However, there’s no should’ve would’ve and much less in this sport of great demand. Although the bad experiences lived by some drivers –seven abandoned–, for the show spectators it has been a first-rage experience thanks to a track that suffered extreme conditions – it began wet and ended up dried with upcoming rain forecasts.
Between the expected surprises that always come with Monaco, it was outstanding that some drivers didn’t give their best. It was the case of Nico Rosberg, who disappeared from the top very early and finished seventh, after being dejected by his compatriot Niko Hulkenberg. This worked wonderfully for Force India, who achieved a double triumph.
To the regular performances we have to add the Williams, who barely rescued a point from Felipe Massa at the end. On the other hand, Max Verstappen could not repeat what happened in Spain either, and after an admirable labor of recovery, he crashed against the protective fences in Mirabeau.
Ferrari is in doubt again, thanks to Kimi Raikkonen who abandoned after an incident occurred in La Horquilla. Besides, Sebastian Vettel simply could not find the door to surpass Sergio Perez, whose skills and bravery never allowed him to. Meanwhile McLaren-Honda showed a good performance.
In brief, the 78 agreed laps were filled with adrenaline and almost consumed the two regulatory hours of duration. Luckily for the audience, the race took an unexpected twist after the first eight seemingly endless laps led by the safety car.
