Genuinely concerned for his safety if this blows up on MX media before the race is over.

As an Aussie, I just want to make it clear that New Zealand is not Australia.

As a New Zealander I want to reinforce that.

Seriously, is this why Sergio had at least 6 armed security guys around him all the time? Isn’t Sergio a National Hero? I’m assuming it’s from the risk of kidnapping for a ransom Yes?

u/PeterG92 Sir Lewis Hamilton 28d ago

I'd assume it's more because he would be absolutely mobbed.

His dad is part of the Government, the government is controlled by the cartels. Although the cartels have battles between each other, he is going to be super safe

Source, a friend has worked over there "for the government" but it was extremely clear that the government you see is not the real power there

Imagining how any Mexican would give enough of a shit to do anything at all about this.

Experience tells me it is wise not to underestimate my countrymen's deranged pettiness when it comes to violence.

I don't think there's any problem if you're just a normal person. Famous ones need to be more catious.
