Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández jokes about becoming F1 driver

Former Mexican footballer Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández used social media to jokingly propose himself as a Formula 1 driver. In a video posted to Instagram, Hernández used a PowerPoint presentation to list his supposed qualifications, including over two decades of driving experience and the ability to handle high-pressure situations, such as driving with his mother as a co-pilot.

He humorously claimed his skills include using turn signals, avoiding potholes in Mexico City, and successfully parking on his first attempt. He also joked about his potential to work in a pit crew, noting that while he once changed a tire in 40 minutes without equipment, he could improve with a professional budget.

The post drew a reaction from Antonio Pérez, the brother of F1 driver Sergio 'Checo' Pérez, who responded to the video with laughter and the phrase, “Échale, cliente” (Go for it, client). Fans also joined the joke, suggesting various humorous scenarios involving the athlete and the racing circuit.
