Max Verstappen urges fans to show him respect ahead of feisty Mexican Grand PrixBy Philip Duncan, PA F1 Correspondent, Mexico CityMax Verstappen has told the boo brigade to show him some respect as the triple world champion prepares to enter the lion’s den at Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix. Verstappen has beefed up his security for Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez’s home race at the high-altitude Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez venue in Mexico City. Verstappen was jeered by Perez’s travelling fans in Miami earlier this year, while Lewis Hamilton was also booed here last year. The seven-time world champion said: “As a driver, I understand the psychological and mental pressures weigh so heavily on you. It is a difficult environment for him, but he has dealt with it to the best of his ability.”
