Formula One Twitter reacts to Sergio Perez getting the driver’s number one treatment over Max Verstappen during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez won the Monaco Grand Prix in style ahead of Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen. This in turn becomes very competitive for Max Verstappen while defending his world championship.
The Mexican driver had a very good start to his season. He secured a victory, alongside a pole position and four podiums to his name.
According to him, he is fighting for the World Championship as he is just fifteen points behind his teammate Verstappen. This changes the dynamism within the team as Perez is no more helping the Dutch driver for the championship, but rather fighting for it himself.
Since Verstappen’s arrival on the team, there is a hierarchy among the driver’s positions with him being the driver number one. However, Christian Horner explained that Red Bull is not Max Verstappen Racing with both the drivers given equal opportunity.
