LONDON : Sergio Perez was hailed as 'King of the Streets' after his double success in Baku but the Mexican will have to raise his game everywhere to be a real title threat to Red Bull team mate Max Verstappen.
The Mexican can claim to have won more races than Verstappen in 2023, when the Saturday sprint in Baku is included, but the score was 15-2 to his Dutch team mate last season. The rest are otherwise fighting for scraps from the Red Bull table, hoping upgrades and the pace of development will eventually close the gap.
On Sunday the timing of the safety car also played into Perez's hands, and against Verstappen, but the Mexican was already putting the pressure on. "I get the sense there’s something a bit out of sorts with Max at the moment," Hill told viewers."He’s talked about not wanting to race beyond 30 or whatever it is, weird stuff. Why is he talking about this now?Whatever the reason or reality, Verstappen currently has only one rival for the title and that is a man he has been able to beat consistently in the past.
