Formula 1 | Perez: IV before the grand prix

The Mexican driver had to resort to an IV the night before the Malaysian race to combat the virus contracted during the weekend.

During free practice on Friday, Sergio Perez he struggled to breathe and even the following day he struggled to complete the qualification. Although he was still debilitated, yesterday he had an excellent race, crossing the finish line in sixth position.

“He wasn't well - commented the operations director Force India, Otmar Szafnauer,- after the race he told us that he wanted to stop but continued anyway. He said it was the most difficult race of his career and I can understand why.".

For the Japan match, scheduled for this weekend, the Mexican should feel better:

“Yes, it will be ok -continued Szafnauer- he's a tough rider".
