Sergio Perez’s inspirational story of making it big in F1 after numerous sacrifices, never fails to amaze us
Sergio Perez shared a picture of himself standing in front of a restaurant, which was his home in Germany when he left home as a 15-year-old. Checo left behind his comfortable lifestyle in Mexico to go to Germany in pursuit of his dreams. Perez left his native state of Jalisco at the age of 15 to move to the German city of Vilsbiburg, near the Isar river, where he found his home in a restaurant.
The Red Bull driver shared an inspirational message on Twitter along with the photograph – “This place in Germany was my home when I was 15 years old. I left Mexico chasing the impossible dream! Never give up on your dreams, keep fighting for them no matter how distant and crazy they seem.”
Today, far from that life of deprivation, Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez enjoys great luxuries in the company of his wife, Carola Martínez, and their children, little Sergio, Carlota, and Emilio, at his exclusive apartment on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta.
It is indeed an inspirational journey and as the Mexican rightly says – “Never give up on your dreams.”
