Mexico GP in the live ticker: chance for Sergio Perez to win?

After Max Verstappen's title win and the triumph in the Constructors' Championship, Sergio Perez is coming into focus at Red Bull.

Motorsport boss Helmut Marko finally proclaimed two goals: In addition to the victory record for Verstappen, Perez should take second place in the drivers' championship.

The chances for that are not bad.

Only two points separate Perez (265) from Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc (267).

In addition, the shape is correct.

The 32-year-old was on the podium five times in a row, in Singapore for the second time this year on top - a highlight, although not comparable to his triumph in Monaco.

Another win “is of course the goal.

We want to get the most out of the weekend,” said Perez.

We'll see if that's possible from fourth place.

Mick Schumacher does not currently have a plan B for his career: "Plan A is the only plan that counts for me at the moment, and that I want to and will pursue," he says in an interview.

The fact is: only one racing team has not yet decided who will get the second cockpit next year: Haas.

It's about his cockpit.

Team boss Günther Steiner had already promised a decision after the Mexican Grand Prix.

So that would be soon.

In Mexico, Steiner said: "In Abu Dhabi we want to know who will be driving our car next year." That is not so soon, but only in a good three weeks, the Formula 1 finale will take place on November 20th at the Yas Marina Circuit .

Steiner explained that whoever is the chosen one can also take the test after the final.

Schumacher's main competitor is his compatriot Nico Hulkenberg, who is twelve years his senior.
