Video – Drama at Mexican GP: Liam Lawson’s Overtake on Perez Sparks Tension with Disrespectful Gesture: Shows the middle finger

The 2024 Mexican Grand Prix was packed with action, but it was a rough day for Sergio Perez. The 34-year-old Red Bull driver struggled with pace and endured a dramatic on-track battle with 22-year-old Liam Lawson, who overtook Perez in a rare moment of role reversal, overtaking an RB19 with his AlphaTauri. But the pass became personal when Lawson flashed a middle finger at Perez, escalating their rivalry and adding a controversial twist to their fight for position.

Lawson, who is in contention for a 2025 seat at Red Bull, has been vying with teammate Yuki Tsunoda to prove himself. Helmut Marko set clear expectations, stating that only one of them would have a shot at the main Red Bull team, making every race a proving ground. Lawson’s overtake in Mexico intensified this competition, and his gesture during the move seemed to take it to a level beyond professional rivalry.

Perez expressed frustration after their incident-packed battle, criticizing Lawson’s aggressive driving and questioning his attitude. Perez’s car sustained significant damage in the clash, which he felt was avoidable. “I think the way he came into Formula 1, he doesn’t have the right attitude for it,” Perez commented, calling for Lawson to approach the sport with more humility. “He needs to be a bit more modest,” added Perez, who felt Lawson’s lack of respect could impact his future in F1.

This latest chapter in Red Bull’s internal competition only adds to the tension, with the team falling to third in the Constructors’ standings after Ferrari’s 1-3 finish in Mexico. As Red Bull battles to reclaim its position with four races and two sprints left in the season, Max Verstappen’s championship lead provides a glimmer of hope. But with internal rivalries heating up, Red Bull will need to navigate its driver dynamics carefully to keep its championship ambitions alive.
