This weekend marks Perez's 300th Grand Prix start at the Mexican Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. He returned to the grid this year with Cadillac.

The team announced earlier on Wednesday that Perez signed a multi-year contract extension until 2029. Perez is a six-times Grand Prix winner and is 36 years old.

The free street event gave fans who could not afford or obtain Grand Prix tickets a chance to see the spectacle. One fan spent almost 3,000 Mexican pesos, about 161.26 dollars, on a homemade replica race suit and helmet.

Another fan, Virginia Cano, praised Perez as a world-class competitor and an excellent person. She said she has followed him for around a decade.
