Just when Perez thought the worst part was over, after the 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen’s mother accused him of cheating on his wife. So the question still stands, did Sergio Perez actually cheat on his wife? The video above only shows him intimately dancing with a girl. However, we cannot tell for certain if anything further happened between the Mexican driver and the woman in the video.
