通用汽车总裁马克·罗伊斯在塞尔吉奥·佩雷兹迎来个人第300场F1比赛前称赞了这位凯迪拉克F1车手,坚称拥有这位墨西哥车手是"荣幸"。
佩雷兹将成为F1历史上第七位达到这一里程碑的车手——此前六位是鲁本斯·巴里切罗、费尔南多·阿隆索、简森·巴顿、刘易斯·汉密尔顿、基米·莱科宁和迈克尔·舒马赫——他将在墨西哥城罗德里格斯兄弟赛道、在主场车迷的支持下庆祝这一成就。
作为活动的一部分,佩雷斯在改革大道上进行了一场演示驾驶。他还将在驾驶MAC-26上赛道之前,拜访该市的通用汽车员工。凯迪拉克还宣布与这位墨西哥车手续约至2029年。
鲁斯在纽约汽车运动商业交流会上发言时被问及庆祝活动,他说:“这是件大事。”
“这将是切科的第三百场比赛,非常自豪他能为我们车队驾驶,他给了我们很多反馈,作为一位跑过这些赛道的人,他提供了专业经验——还有[瓦尔特利]博塔斯——两人都为我们提供了关于赛车、赛道以及差异所在、如何构建模型、以及在我们经历首个赛季的过程中如何让模拟数据准确的真实反馈。”
“这对他来说是件大事。对通用汽车来说也是件大事。我们的墨西哥总部就在墨西哥城,所以他将与我们的经销商交流,与我们的员工交流,我迫不及待想去和他以及他所有的车迷一起参与其中。”
他只是一个很棒的人,作为一个人来说就是这样;因为他不仅是一位出色的车手,也是凯迪拉克、通用汽车和一级方程式赛车的一位出色代表,而且他真的是一个非常好的人。
能拥有他是一种荣幸。
佩雷斯和博塔斯本赛季加入了凯迪拉克的首个F1赛季,为这个通用汽车品牌带来了赢得比赛的经验,因为该品牌首次踏入了单座赛车运动的巅峰。
虽然本赛季远非一帆风顺,这对于一支从零开始组建的新车队来说是意料之中的,但罗伊斯对两位车手展现出的品格印象深刻。
“他们非常不同,”他透露道。“任何系列赛中的任何车手,如果他们真的非常优秀,都会非常不同。
“在那种专业精神和精准度上,无论是什么系列赛,不管是耐力赛、一级方程式、越野赛、卡车赛,我不管是什么,你都能在冠军身上看到这一点,他们每场比赛都力求做到最好、做到极致,如果他们没做到,如果发生了什么事——你不可能赢下每一场比赛,没有人能赢下每一场比赛——当他们遇到不幸的一天或犯了错误时,他们会从那场比赛中走出来,并完善自己的技艺,无论是赛车、他们自身、他们的身体素质,还是别的什么。
“他们为那份完美而驾驶,这两位先生都是如此,他们真的明白需要付出什么以及这个过程。说实话,我非常非常高兴他们对我们有耐心。
“这需要一个特别的人,而这两个家伙都具备这一点。”

Cadillac 'honoured' to have Sergio Perez as special 300th race celebration planned for Mexico GP
General Motors president Mark Reuss has paid tribute to Sergio Perez as he prepares for his milestone race in Mexico
General Motors president Mark Reuss has praised Cadillac Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez ahead of his 300th race in the series, insisting it is "an honour" to have the Mexican on side.
Perez will become just the seventh driver in F1 history to reach the milestone - joining Rubens Barrichello, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher - and will celebrate the achievement in front of his adoring home support at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.
As part of the occasion, Perez has taken to the streets for a demonstration run along the Paseo de la Reforma. He will also visit General Motors staff in the city before taking to the track in the MAC-26. Cadillac has also announced a renewed contract with the Mexican through to 2029.
Asked about the celebrations when speaking at the Autosport Business Exchange New York, Reuss said: "It's a big deal.
"It'll be Checo's 300th, really proud to have him driving for our team, and he's given us so much feedback, and expertise on someone who's run the tracks - and [Valtteri] Bottas - both giving us real feedback around the car, the track, and what the differences are and how to build the models, and how to get those simulations right as we move through and experience our first season.
"This is a big deal for him. It's also a big deal for General Motors. Our Mexico headquarters is in Mexico City, so he's going to speak to our dealers, he's going to speak to our employees, and I can't wait to go and be part of that with him, and all of his fans.
"He's just a great person, who he is as a person; because he's not only a wonderful driver, a wonderful representative for Cadillac and General Motors and Formula 1, but he's just a really good person.
"It's an honour to have him."
Perez and Bottas joined Cadillac for its maiden F1 season this term, bringing race-winning experience to the GM brand as it made its first steps into the pinnacle of single-seater racing.
And while the season has been far from smooth sailing, which was to be expected for a new team built from zero, Reuss has been impressed with the character shown by both drivers.
"They're very different," he revealed. "Any driver in any series is always, if they're really good, very different.
"In that professionalism and precision, whatever series it is, whether it's endurance, Formula 1, off-road, trucks, I don't care what it is, you can see it in the champions, and they strive to do the best, the very best they can every race and if they don't, if something happens - you can't win every race, no one can win every race - when they have a day that is unfortunate or mistakes were made, they move on from that race, and perfect their craft, whether it's with the car, or themselves or their physicality, or whatever that is.
"They drive for that perfection, and both of these gentlemen do that, and they really understand what it takes and the process. I'm very, very happy that they're patient with us to be honest.
"That takes a special person, and both of those guys have it."
