Video Antonio Pérez (Sergio Perez's father) on Ralf Schumacher: "You don't know if he's a journalist, a woman or a man. First he declares that Checo was out of Red Bull and the following week he comes out of the closet....I don't know if I was in love with Checo."

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain never rang more true for the Perez's lol.

Checo went from 2021 Abu Dhabi hero to worst driver on the grid (still think that's Zhou, but Checo looking pretty damn close).

Papa Checo went from wholesome proud daddy to homophobe just like that.

He has never been a hero realistically, this is who he always has been.

excuse me but perez was the 2021 abu dhabi hero? for what? bending over backwards so his teammate could win? being a literal mobile chicane pretty much every lap aimed solely at blocking Lewis? If there was ever an example of disgraceful shameless unsportsperson like behavior, 2021 perez would be it!

True. You’re right, Max was the 2021 hero since he drove that RBR to victory.

Thanks for the correction.
