“You never get used to it and you forget it. When you race around the world, obviously you don’t have the same support at home as you do in China or in other races, so when you get here (Mexico) you realize how much love you have for people and that people value what you do. what I do”he assured.

The driver of the energy drink team who is not going through the best moment of his career recognizes that at all times he has felt loved by his fans and that it gives him great pleasure to be able to share a moment like this with his family.

“Obviously he wants me to win all the races and if I don’t win he asks me why I don’t win or why I’m doing poorly and in the end I always share it with him, because for me it’s very important that he learns that you don’t always win or you don’t always win. “It’s going to go as you expect.”he assured.

Good relationship with Max Verstappen
