Sergio Pérez

Sergio "Checo" Pérez is the most successful Mexican driver in F1 history and the first from his country to win a race in the modern era. The Guadalajara native spent years proving his talent in second-tier teams before signing for Red Bull in 2021 as Verstappen's teammate. His 13 wins include the epic Baku 2021, head to head with Hamilton, and Singapore 2023. Known for his mastery of tyre management and position defence, he was key to Red Bull's constructors' titles.
