After starting for the second time from ‘pole’ in a test of the premier class.
In the same scenario as the one he achieved last year, when bad luck, also due to a ‘safety car’ entering the track, left him in fourth place.
The brave driver from Guadalajara polished his record with his first victory of the season and he is not the leader of the World Cup.
Because, after constantly exchanging the best partials, the one who marked -in the last turn- the fastest lap was ‘Mad Max’.
That commands with a point advantage (44-43) over ‘Checo’ a championship in which the Asturian double world champion Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) is third, with 27 units.
“The team has done a fantastic job all weekend; And I’m very happy for them.”
«It’s a great start to the season; and we will keep pushing. But the most important thing is that we have the fastest car“Commented the brave pilot.

After having scored, in 2020 and for Racing Point, the Sakhir Grand Prix, before winning, already as a driver for the Austrian team.
Those of Azerbaijan, in 2021; and those of Monaco and Singapore, last year.
“You have to work to be better in the future“, admitted, however exultant Sergio Pérez after winning a day after signing -in the same scenario as the first one, a year ago- his second ‘pole’ in F1.
