Sergio Perez complimented his third-place performance in Mexico, saying he gave it his all in front of his home fans.
Perez made history by becoming the first Mexican driver to win and finish on the podium at his home Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver was delighted with what he described as a “unbelievable day” for himself and the team, as teammate Max Verstappen took the chequered flag.
“An unbelievable day,” said Perez. “Obviously, I wanted more. I wanted to get the 1-2 for the team, and it was pretty close, but I didn’t have a single chance to get through [and pass Lewis Hamilton].
“I still gave my full heart for these people, and I could actually hear them. It was pretty incredible.”
With four races remaining, Red Bull is only one point behind Mercedes in the Constructors’ standings after finishing first and third in Mexico.
