[Saba Sports News] Recently, Sergio Perez’s father responded to Ralf Schumacher’s criticism of his son during a media interview, asserting that the criticisms were unfounded. As a former F1 driver, Ralf has frequently criticized Perez’s performance and even predicted that Red Bull would announce Perez’s departure during this year’s Mexican Grand Prix, which did not happen. In the interview, Perez’s father retaliated against Ralf and mocked his sexual orientation, stating, “There is a person who was once an F1 driver and later became a journalist. His greatest characteristic is to attract attention; he first claimed that Perez had left Red Bull. The following week, he came out.” Earlier this year, Ralf announced his coming out, which caused a stir in the racing world, receiving both support and prejudice. Ralf, a former F1 driver, stood on the podium 28 times during his 11-year F1 career, winning 6 race titles.
