Class action: Red Bull invites crying little guy into pit box after Perez crash
Sergio Perez raced into the wall in the first free practice session. Some fans probably could not suppress an inside laugh, but of course there were also fans who were very disappointed by the crash. This little boy, for example, who burst into tears in the stands after Perez finished after only four minutes in FP1. Red Bull tracked the little guy down and invited him to the pit box.
The Red Bull team had also seen the footage of the crying fan and invited him to Red Bull's garage box later on Friday. He was given a unique look behind the scenes and a meeting with Pérez was scheduled.
Furthermore, the boy was given the chance to change tyres, hold a Formula 1 steering wheel and take a closer look at Checo Pérez's helmet. The boy got to watch the second free practice from Perez's pit box. A classy move by Red Bull!
