However, as we will discuss here, what could have been a dream race for Pérez quickly turned into a total nightmare.
A dramatic start

The pole position was for Charles Leclerc, who would become the other protagonist of the horror movie that had Pérez as its main protagonist.
Eventually, the race began. All drivers quickly accelerated on the first part of the track. Only a few seconds into the race, the unthinkable happened. The best betting on Formula 1 is present at 1xBet, and here you can also wager on unexpected occurrences too.
The front left wheel of Leclerc made contact with the rear part of Pérez’s car. This lifted the Mexican’s car, and caused him to lose control for a few seconds. Pérez left the track and continued into a safety area. Thankfully he didn’t crash with the walls. However, his race was basically over.
A futile attempt
The replays showed that Pérez’s car suffered a hard landing, and apparently the suspension was broken. The most profitable wagers are present at 1xBet – best tennis betting is available alongside great Formula 1 wagers too.
Pérez managed to return to the track, but his car had sustained serious damage. He made one full lap and immediately entered the pits. However, there was nothing that the mechanics could do to fix the car quickly. He was forced to abandon, and by the way, he had completed all races since 2018.
The hundreds of thousands of Mexican fans who gathered at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez to see their driver could not believe it.
The top drivers of that day were:
- Charles Leclerc, whose car suffered minimal damage after colliding with Pérez;
- Carlos Sainz Jr.;
- and Max Verstappen.
