Which spot on the podium did Checo Pérez take in the Chinese GP sprint race?

In the 2024 Formula 1 season, Sergio Pérez has been performing exceptionally well. During the Sprint race of the Chinese Grand Prix, the Mexican driver impressed everyone by securing the third position on the podium alongside his Red Bull teammate, Max Verstappen, who won first place, followed by Lewis Hamilton.

Pérez’s driving skills were really on display during the race. He executed a marvelous double pass, which allowed him to move up from fifth to third place in a matter of seconds. Pérez’s ability to maintain his position against the fierce competition was remarkable, and he earned 3 more points in the championship pilots, where he currently occupies second place with 64 points.

After the Sprint race, Pérez explained how he overtook Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso. He revealed that he took advantage of their errors and made good moves to secure his position on the track.

“Fortunately I could pass over Carlos and Fernando, we had a lot of degradation because we were following each other very closely. Suddenly, I started to feel a lot of pressure from Charles, especially on lap 14, to the point where they got closer than normal, and I had the opportunity to pass both of them,” he said for Formula One.

Now, Checo Pérez will have to handle the classification to know where he will start in the Chinese Grand Prix race on Sunday, next in this year’s Formula One championship.
