Sergio Pérez made history on Sunday by becoming the first Mexican-born Formula One driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix.

Pérez qualified for the third position and held on for the victory after the race reached its two-hour limit. “It was really hard for me to think straight after the race, I was full of adrenaline and so much energy going through the race,” Pérez said.

“Once I heard my national anthem on the podium here it hit me, it is a dream come true for any driver in the world to tick that box in Monaco and I can just be extremely happy. We were quick all weekend, we kept our heads down and knew today with the right strategy we could make things happen.

“This win was for my mum and all my family, she was very sick last week so I had very good motivation going into this race to get her a victory. It’s been an incredible day, I am super happy for the whole Team and I hope my country are proud too. You don’t win Monaco many times in your life so the first one is very special.”

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías, a fellow Mexican native, was among the many to congratulate Pérez after his historic win.

Pérez has earned 110 from seven races this year, which puts him in third place in the drivers’ world championship standings after finishing fourth last year.

Pérez most notably won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last season and claimed four other top-three finishes. He has three career wins in Formula One.

Pérez signs contract extension with Red Bull

Red Bull Racing announced Pérez signed a two-year extension to remain teammates with reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen through 2024.

The team opened talks with Pérez earlier this month and said the deal was signed before the Monaco Grand Prix.
