General Motors president Mark Reuss has paid a glowing tribute to Sergio Perez as the experienced driver prepares to make his milestone 300th Formula 1 start at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The momentous occasion marks a major chapter for both the driver and the new manufacturer entry.
Perez is set to become just the seventh driver in the history of the sport to reach the 300-race plateau, joining an elite group that includes Rubens Barrichello, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, and Michael Schumacher. Celebrating this incredible achievement in front of his passionate home crowd adds a truly unique emotional layer to the race weekend.
As part of the festive buildup, the Mexican driver took to the public streets for a thrilling demonstration run along the iconic Paseo de la Reforma. He will also spend time meeting with General Motors employees and local staff in Mexico City before jumping behind the wheel of the MAC-26 for official on-track sessions.
Adding further stability to the project, the team recently announced a fresh contract extension keeping the veteran signed through the 2029 season. This long-term commitment highlights the immense value management places on his race-winning expertise and technical feedback during their foundational years in the championship.
Reflecting on the milestone during the Autosport Business Exchange New York, Reuss emphasized how vital the precise data and developmental direction provided by the veteran lineup have been for shaping the team's simulator models and overall car understanding throughout their debut campaign.
According to Motorsport.com, Reuss praised not only the driving capabilities but also the outstanding character that makes him such a powerful ambassador for the brand worldwide, noting that having him on board is a true honour for everyone involved in the programme.
