There are always some characters on the grid that everyone likes and Sergio Perez is among those few. However, the Mexican also has his naysayers and critiques. One such critique, a Dutch former racing driver, is not happy with Perez’s overall conduct in the current season. However, the said driver prefers not to criticize Perez often as it results in death threats from Mexican fans.

Christijan Albers, the Dutchman, made this shocking revelation during his conversation on the De Telegraaf’s Formula 1 podcast. Perez has made fiery comments after he fell out with Max Verstappen toward the end of the 2022 season. These bold comments and his stance on the championship are what annoys Albers.

“He is going to position himself completely as the new world champion in 2023, or at least that he has a chance to become champion in 2023,” he said about Perez’s comments to the media. (Translated by Google)

However, whenever Albers criticizes Perez, he receives death threats from the Mexican fanbase. “But he (Pérez) continues to create that hype, which sometimes makes it dangerous. If you write something about Pérez that is not good, that you just get all those Mexicans over you with threats and death threats and so on,” he revealed.

The former Spyker F1 team driver is clearly not a fan of the Mexican. Albers also took away the unofficial tag Perez proudly boasts.

Albers also claims Sergio Perez is not the king of street circuits

Albers did not agree with Perez’s unofficial crowning as the king of the street circuits. The Dutch former racing driver believes Perez has won on four street circuits because in all those races Verstappen had setbacks. He believes there is a vast gap between the two, no matter what circuit they’re racing on.

He added, “The second thing that annoys me, he’s supposedly the god of street circuits, but the last time I’ve been to Melbourne, I think that goes a little bit more to a street circuit than a normal Melbourne circuit, and we still just saw the old-fashioned Verstappen-Pérez gap there. And in Free Practice three it was just like last year half a second on his bike.”
