A position at Red Bull represents a significant opportunity for the Spanish driver, as the team is currently dominating the sport. With the possibility of Max Verstappen moving to Mercedes, the team is already considering alternative options to replace him, which could result in a completely new lineup of drivers for Red Bull. However, Verstappen himself has expressed his satisfaction with Red Bull and his desire to stay with the team long-term.

The Australian GP was the first race where things didn’t go as planned for Red Bull. Verstappen was forced to retire due to an engine issue, and Sergio Perez also encountered problems with his RB20. On the other hand, Ferrari had a remarkable performance, securing a 1-2 finish and is now just four points behind Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship.
Perez shared his thoughts on Ferrari’s performance at the Australian GP.
According to Perez, the characteristics of the track will play a significant role in determining the performance of the RB20 in the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix. Red Bull needs to regain control of their situation as Ferrari is closing in fast. The Suzuka event will reveal whether Red Bull’s performance in the Australian GP was an isolated incident or if Ferrari is truly challenging the Austrian team.
