Max Verstappen will be accompanied by two bodyguards throughout the Mexican Grand Prix weekend.
Max Verstappen says having bodyguards in Mexico has nothing to do with feeling unsafe, it’s about helping him navigate the “really, really busy” paddock at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Verstappen says it’s not about feeling unsafe in Mexico, it’s about making his way through the paddock as easily as possible. “For example, last year, it was really, really busy to get from your hospitality to the garage. And it just helps also to make it a little bit smoother on track, off track, travel from your hotel, and stuff like that.
Confirming what Perez had said earlier in the day, Verstappen denied that there’s any sort of unfriendly rivalry between the teammates as although they both want to beat the other, there is a “lot of respect”. Backing up his and Perez’s words, the Mexican Grand Prix organisers launched a campaign called #racespect which urges fans to respect every one of the drivers.“I think it’s a good thing that it maybe starts here now, but it’s not only here,” Verstappen said. “I think in general, the behaviour of the crowd in some places, I think can be a bit better.
