After a long wait, this Sunday, Sergio “Checo” Pérez made history by winning third place in the Mexican Grand Prix.
It has been, without a doubt, a great weekend for the sport in Mexico, starting last night with the victory of Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez against Caleb Plant, a fight in which the native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, also made history in the Latin American box.
However, despite the great popularity and enormous media popularity generated by “Canelo”, today’s note has been taken by the other from Guadalajara, Sergio “Checo” Pérez, who this day stood on the podium of the Mexican Grand Prix , taking third place, only below the Dutch Max Verstappen, his teammate from Red Bull Racing, and the British Lewis Hamilton, from Mercedes, first and second respectively.
And it is that, beyond what was achieved by the Mexican pilot today, the great news is the return of the public to the stands in an event that, in fact, broke attendance record by conglomerating a total of 371,779 thousand fans to throughout the three days of activities in the capital of the country.
Even since last Wednesday, at the Red Bull Show Run on Avenida Paseo de la Reforma, it was clear that the Mexican Grand Prix, held this Sunday, would have a great participation and a huge response from Formula 1 fans. .
Today, as if that were not enough, the “Checo” broke an important record in his career, as he became the first Mexican pilot to get on the podium in a race held in our country, and this is his third consecutive podium, which he shared with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.
Now, both Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton and “Checo” Pérez himself are among the five highest paid drivers in the entire Big Top and, in that sense, there is an important question: How much did “Checo” Pérez earn by getting placed in the third position of the Grand Prix of Mexico?
In addition to making history, this day the “Checo” Pérez has put in his pocket the amount of 695 thousand euros, a figure, undoubtedly, very large that, in some way, will be marked in the history of motorsport in Mexico, because what was achieved today by the Mexican driver will not be erased by anyone.
