The Question: Checo, you said that your last race in Mexico was 12 years ago, I just wanted to know what was this race and what memories you have of this race?
What Sergio said: Yeah, they’re not great memories because it’s a very long story and we don’t have all the time to go through it but basically on the Sunday they didn’t allow me to race because I have a special licence to race, I was 12 years old and I had a special permit to race against drivers of 20, 25 years old. I was winning the championship and one race before I had a contact with another driver so the federation took the licence away and they were giving me the chance to race and not, so in the end they allowed me to qualify. I qualified second but then in the race they didn’t allow me to race so that was my last experience here in Mexico, so I hope on Sunday will be a lot better.
What he might have meant to say: Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday and all I can say now is ‘look at me now, you bastards, top of the goddamn world’. When I am king of Mexico – which I’m pretty sure should be next week or the week after – then they’ll be first up against the wall. Oh yes, they’ll get what’s coming to them. Not that I’m bitter or anything.
