It was not the ideal weekend for Sergio Perez. Despite finishing 3rd in the race, Perez would have loved to climb the top spot at home in front of his home crowd. The Mexican has previously shared his lifelong dream of winning the Mexican GP. However, before the race, Perez met with the famous American Tik Toker, Daniel Mac.
The American sensation has amassed over 12M followers on TikTok. Mac met Perez in the Red Bull garage and asked his trademark question, “What do you do for a living” in Spanish. However, his Spanish game was not as elegant as his video recording skills.

Perez was seemingly confused with the question. However, Mac explained how he only learned Spanish for a year in school. Perez then replied, “I’m the Mexican minister of defense”.
Sergio Perez is currently second in the driver’s standings. He leads Charles Leclerc by 5 points and will be looking to seal the second spot and claim a Red Bull 1-2.
