Checo Pérez finished second in the Japanese Grand Prix, behind Max Verstappen. It was his third podium this year and number 38 in his entire career in Formula 1.

The Mexican does not forget that this year is critical to demonstrate to the Red Bull leadership that in 2025 there is no better candidate than him to stay on the team. The Grupo Carso idol has three second places in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Japan, in addition to fifth place in Melbourne. The Japanese asphalt suits the Mexican well because in his first race in the country, in 2011, he obtained eighth place aboard a Sauber.
