Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen are widely known in the racing community for their antics off the track. Verstappen, in particular, is in high spirits after signing a two-year contract extension with Red Bull. This has been evident in the various activities he has been participating in before the Canadian GP.
Recently, Perez challenged his Red Bull teammate to a penalty shootout. Not only did he take the penalty, but he also skillfully scored with a delicate touch in the middle of the goal, while Verstappen went the other way.
Football has become a common hobby for the Red Bull duo. During the 2023 F1 season, there have been several occasions where Perez and Verstappen showcased their playful skills, trying to outdo each other.
A video circulating on the internet captures the fun football session between the Red Bull drivers. From Perez’s impressive touch to Verstappen’s comical attempt to save the goal, the video has been attracting a lot of attention.
Despite leading both world championships in the 2024 season, the Red Bull F1 team faces strong competition from their rivals. The small margin between them is a result of Verstappen and Perez’s recent disappointing performances in the RB20 car.
Recognizing their struggles in Monaco, the current world champion expressed his team’s dedication to optimizing the RB20. The Milton-Keynes-based team has only secured one victory in the Grand Prix in the last three races, far from their dominant form in previous seasons.
As the Canadian GP approaches, the upcoming free practice sessions will be closely watched by many. Verstappen and his teammates have a lot at stake, and all eyes will be on them to see how they perform.
