Visibly excited, but equanimous, the Mexican returns to third place after achieving it in the France GP.When crossing the goal, he mentioned: "It was one of those races to be patient.We really didn't know what was happening with the tires today.It was quite difficult to drive ".

However, the relief of the tapatío to specify a great career became more noticeable on the radio: "Finally, man," he told his team when he was still aboard the RB16b.In turn, Horner congratulated him: "I told you that you were going to be on the podium, good job".

Czech's great start

Sergio departed from the sixth place and in the blink of an eye jumped to fourth place.A mixture of fortune and talent.Fortuna because Gasly touched Alonso and Talent because Pérez took a great maneuver to avoid the two rival monoplays and jump two seats.In fact, Pierre was sanctioned with five seconds by the incident, while Fernando went down to the back of the row, where shortly after he crashed Schumacher and received a similar penalty.

Does anyone doubt that Czech is enough pilot for a team that aspires to the F1 championship?Only by observing the defense against Lewis Hamilton himself, the answer is obtained.Monumental.Words are left over.They are one of those actions that make us love the great circus.Lewis looked for space and on a couple of occasions he was ahead, but Sergio did not give up despite the fact that the curve was in favor of heptacampeon.The Red Bull number 11 invented exceptional handling to leave Mercedes behind and prevent him from continuing to climb.From Mexico to the world.

The Pits of Hamilton and Leclerc that allowed Czech's podium

It was time for the revolution to do justice to Czech.Both the Ferrari of Leclerc and the Mercedes de Hamilton thought of a moment to finish the race if going to Pits (with rain tires the rule of the obligatory boxes is canceled).In the end, both pilots yielded.It was Lewis who refused in principle but had to enter.And there Czech marched, who found the rhythm at the right time to get ahead of the Briton and fight hand against Monegasco, whom he exceeded in Vuelta 52 to get a third place that he never released.

The Istanbul circuit did not disappoint, once again gave us another exciting career and Pérez reaffirms that it is one of its favorite territories.
