As the Mexican GP inches closer, there are various talking points regarding this. From expectations about Verstappen’s 14th race win to Perez’s home race win at Mexico City, it looks endless. Despite so many talking points, one among them has taken the solid ground that the Dutchman might help his Mexican counterpart for a win on his home soil.

However, the number 11 Red Bull driver wants to achieve everything on his own. Talking about this, Perez conveyed to ESPN, “I don’t need to be given anything. I have achieved everything without any gifts for so many years – not that it is necessary. In the end, I don’t think about it. I think about my work, about being perfect this weekend and looking for that victory [in Mexico].”

Despite this, when asked if there is a situation when Verstappen can provide a helping hand to the former Force India driver, he further shared, “I think in the end it’s normal, we all want to win. I think if it’s a situation where it’s different, where it’s a different help, I have no doubt he would do it like I have done with him in the past.”
