Last weekend, Sergio "Checo" Pérez made history in Mexican motorsport by winning the Monaco Grand Prix. However, his celebration was controversial as some images of the over-drunk driver and later accompanied by a Ukrainian model, aboard a yacht in Monte Carlo, surfaced.

Sergio Perez took his third victory in Formula 1, in a dangerous and wet circuit in Monte Carlo. His reasons to celebrate were more than deserved. But his wife, Carola Martinez, probably wouldn't have agreed with the intensity of the celebrations.

"Checo" later apologized for his excess, but who is the model who has been following the Mexican on Instagram since 2021?

Khrystina, the Ukrainian model, and the mexican racer were spotted by various people at the celebration party. She shared a photo next to "Checo" at last year's Hungarian GP.

In that publication the European influencer declared herself an admirer and in love with "Checo".

"Meet the new F1 addict: Me. With my favorite driver and crush Checo Perez," Khrystina revealed in August 2021.

Khrystina has a total of 36 thousand followers on her Instagram account and is very active. From what happened last weekend, her followers began to increase to the point of reaching more than 10 thousand new users in the last three days.

Perez's apologies

After the scandals, "Checo" Perez was embarrassed, but accepted his responsibility for his actions and apologized to his fans and family through a statement on his Instagram stories. In addition, he assured that with his wife they are "closer than ever."

"I have seen the videos that have been circulating about me and I take responsibility for it. It was a bad party that I didn't know how to control at the height of the person I am, but it was only that, a very bad party. People close to me know my values and the kind of person I am. For those who ask me, my wife and I are closer than ever.
