Perez is part of the reason why Lawrence Stroll managed to take over a financially struggling Force India in 2018. Considering his healthy relationship with the team, his decision did baffle quite a lot of people in the paddock.
But more than that, it upset the Mechanics and his crew who worked with him during his tenure with the team. In particular, Perez’s No.1 Mechanic expressed his sadness in the Instagram post.
“I’m gutted mate, you know this, our whole crew is,” read Mikey Brown’s comment, the lead mechanic for Perez at Racing Point. But Perez gave a refreshing and positive response to his comment, “don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. #friends4life“.
