While his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez returns to home soil where🔯 he is idolised at the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix, it’s a🐼 different story for Verstappen.

Last weekend in Texas his vi🍬ctory was loudly booe🔯d by Mexican fans in attendance.

Red Bull will, therefore, take no chances this weekend when Verstappen steps onto Perez’s h🐲ome turf.

Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko c𒅌onfirmed to the presence of two bodyguards tasked with protecting Verstappen.

“Ma🔯x doesn't really want to do that and is relaxed,” Marko said. 

“But we have a responsibility for him. That's w🍸hy we just want to be on the safe side."

Threats via social media wer🧸e a main reason why Red Bull opted for extra security, the report states.

Red Bull also reportedly 💜expect Perez to minimise the hostility from fans aimed at Verstappen through a public statement.

Perez, although sure to be popular in Mexic🐻o, is f💮ighting for his future.

He is contracted for 2🍎024 and Christian Horner has denied that retaining his seat is dependent onও clinging onto P2 in the drivers’ championship.

Yet rumours constantly swirl about P🍃erez’s status.

Ralf Schumacher told F1-Insider: “Max makes t🅷he difference. Every great champion tries to tune the car for his needs and also have it developed. 

♒“That was the case with my brother, with Senna and also with Lewis Hamilton. 

“The weaker teammate has to live with it. It is up to each driver to convince his te💛am. 

“A Formula 1 team always sides with the driver who promises more success. That's th൩e way the business was and is."

Schumacher said ab𓃲out Perez: “He drives the same car as Verstappen and doesn't keep up with him. 

“The ra💜ce in Austin wasn't bad. ꦅBut celebrating a fifth place, which was Sergio before Hamilton's disqualification, is simply not enough for a Red Bull driver. 

“The whistles against Max were unspeakable. He makes the difference as a driver and that's why the fans should pay tribute to his special achievements with app🐬lause."
