Max Verstappen dominates, Sergio Perez resigns

Hierarchies defined in Red Bull house

“It’s a great challenge to be his teammate.” Sergio Perez, speaking to ‘PlanetF1,’ is almost resigned in his comparison with Max Verstappen, who just won his second world championship in a row in Red Bull. “Obviously it’s not an easy task to be alongside him. I don’t think there is anyone who can come to this team and beat him right away. Next year I will have another chance to do it and we will see,” the Mexican added.

It was Sebastian Vettel who was the first driver to win a world championship with Red Bull. The German put everyone in line for four years in a row, from 2010 to 2013. The Austrian stable returned to success in 2021 thanks to Dutchman Max Verstappen, with the son of art repeating the following year. If there was a battle to the last in 2021, that was not the case in 2022.
