Hamilton believes the Red Bull driver will rediscover some of that performance in front of his home fans this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he has great support around him, he is taking care of himself very well. I was very excited for him at the beginning of the season, because he was driving so well,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I even think that at some point he led the drivers&#8217; championship, and I thought &#8216;we are finally seeing the best of Checo,&#8217; but it is a very long year and a very long season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a very demanding sport, but what I can highlight most about P\u00e9rez is that he always recovers, gets up and keeps trying. Something I can assure you is that Mexico is going to show itself this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was at Silverstone [Hamilton&#8217;s own home track], I was very motivated, and it will surely be something that will happen to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.co.uk\/f1\/story\/_\/id\/38757541\/lewis-hamilton-red-bull-not-helping-sergio-perez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurence Edmondson, F1 EditorOct 27, 2023, 08:19 PM Close &bull;&nbsp;Joined ESPN in 2009&bull;&nbsp;An FIA accredited F1 journalist since 2011 MEXICO CITY &mdash;<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/sport\/lewis-hamilton-red-bull-not-helping-sergio-perez\/01\/11\/2023\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[270,95,2640,94,1184,269,102],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4098,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096\/revisions\/4098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
