Formula One's excitement continues with rising debates on fan behavior as Sergio Perez calls for respect amid growing enthusiasm. Recent incidents involving McLaren's Lando Norris receiving boos at Mexico and Brazil races have sparked discussions within the racing community.

With an impressive record of 39 podiums and a six-time race winner, Perez, formerly of McLaren and Red Bull, is set to return with a new venture at Cadillac. His plea highlights a disconnect between passionate support and sportsmanship.

The controversy deepened when Racing Bulls, Red Bull's sister team, was implicated in Brazil. A viral video depicted an employee making dismissive gestures towards Norris's victory. The team has since addressed the incident internally, reiterating their commitment to respect in racing.
