Perez senior, a Mexican politician, lashed out at his son's critics on the Spanish-language podcast ESPN Racing, aiming particular fire at former F1 driver Schumacher.
There's one driver, or a journalist, used to be a Formula 1 driver, who first claimed that Checo had been kicked out of Red Bull, and then the next week he came out of the closet,
Red Bull driver Perez's father started.
I don't know, maybe he's in love with Checo? You don't know anymore if he's a journalist, a woman or a man. But even his words are questionable, not even because of Checo, but because of what his (ex) wife said about him,
the 65-year-old added.
Bild newspaper called the comments completely unacceptable
. 49-year-old Schumacher, meanwhile, responded on social media.
I would also stand 100 percent behind my son and try to help,
he posted in German on Instagram. "That's what you do as a father.
"As for the style, I would approach it differently, but we know Mr Perez with all his emotions. That's why I'm not angry with him.
However, I believe results on the track would be a better argument.
