Mexico "to cheer for someone else" if Perez is not on the grid

Mexico City's grand-prix president Alejandro Soberón believes there is still a future for the Mexican Grand Prix, even if Sergio Perex will no longer be racing. There is a worry that the Mexican Grand Prix, known for its brilliant atmosphere and passionate fans, will lose that aspect if their home favourite is no longer on the grid. However, Soberón points to the Brazilian Grand Prix as an example of continued success, even without Perez.
