Sergio Perez turned one of Mexico City’s grandest avenues into a celebration of national pride as fans packed Paseo de la Reforma ahead of the Mexican driver’s 300th Grand Prix start this weekend.
An estimated 100,000 people gathered for the Cadillac driver’s showrun, his fourth in Mexico during his Formula One career.
Mexican flags lined the avenue along with giant images of the 36-year-old as Perez drove the Formula Two adapted car, performed tire-smoking doughnuts and stopped near the Angel of Independence monument to greet fans.
