Some F1 drivers never experience the pride and passion of racing in a home grand prix, their countries unlikely ever to appear on the calendar, but Mexican Sergio Perez will not be one of them after this weekend.

His country is making its return after a 23-year absence and Perez, the only Mexican on the current starting grid, cannot wait to tap into the energy of an expected 100,000-strong capacity crowd.

The excitement may not be in the same league as Lewis Hamilton's elation at winning his third world championship in Texas last Sunday but it will still be a momentous occasion for the Mexican.

"Having the opportunity of driving in my home grand prix is something I never thought would happen," says Perez, who has only ever raced go-karts in Mexico. "It will be one of the highlights of my career and I have no doubt that this race will become a modern classic of F1."

While the race comes on the 'Day of the Dead' national holiday, the fans should be among the liveliest of the year and Perez has been doing his bit to crank up the excitement further.
