What was Antonio Perez Garibay’s health scare?
Perez’s father suffered a pre-heart attack that led to him collapsing in the bathroom. According to Heraldo Mexico, “[The] Former Federal Deputy was hospitalized due to a pre-infarction.” He made a speedy recovery and was soon discharged from the hospital.
As per the reports, the heart condition happened around the time Sergio crashed with Carlos Sainz at the Azerbaijan GP. Perez Garibay’s pre-infarction may or may not be related to his son’s crash in Baku.
According to Si.com, “Everything happened after the accident. The shock of the accident may have caused it. They are already checking my heart to see why I fainted.”
Perez had been under pressure from Red Bull to perform and Baku would’ve been a great result as he would’ve finished ahead of Verstappen. Unfortunately, the crash in the penultimate lap put everything in jeopardy.
