Sergio Pérez will miss a fan forum for his home Grand Prix in Mexico City after falling ill. He had been due to greet supporters before first practice.

Cadillac said the decision gave him extra time to rest and recover before the track sessions. The team said his participation in the remainder of the weekend, including FP1 and FP2, would not be affected. Cadillac also said that Pérez and the team apologised to fans who had come to see him.

Team-mate Valtteri Bottas had also missed Thursday's media duties after falling ill, but Cadillac said he had since been cleared to take part in FP2.
