Sergio Perez has not been able to take advantage of the opportunity to drive for a powerful team like Red Bull.
Since joining the team, Perez has always been in the shadow of his teammate, Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver always maximizes the potential of the car.
Recently, Perez was asked how he can reduce the gap to Verstappen. The Mexican driver mentioned how he is now focused on himself and studying Verstappen’s driving style closely to extract the maximum performance from the RB20.
Perez and Verstappen have been teammates since 2021.
My main focus is to improve in all aspects. I believe it is essential to concentrate on my own development while observing and learning from Verstappen’s approach to get the best out of the car. If I can do that, I know I will always be close.
Perez also acknowledged Verstappen’s rare ability to avoid mistakes and emphasized the need for self-awareness and hard work to match his teammate’s performance. Although Perez has had a good start to the season, he will need to stand out significantly to reduce the gap to his dominant teammate.
In an interview with Racingnews 365, Perez also praised Verstappen’s qualities. He described the Dutchman as a complete driver who delivers consistent results when it matters.
Perez seemed to be in awe of his highly regarded teammate. He concluded by highlighting Verstappen’s brilliance both in races and in qualifying, always performing without errors.
Los fans de Verstappen alrededor del mundo, sin duda, apreciarán estos elogios de Perez. Al presenciar la habilidad de Verstappen, el piloto de 34 años también se esforzará por maximizar sus propios resultados y desafiar a su compañero de equipo por victorias. Además, es importante notar que el contrato actual de Perez con el equipo con sede en Milton Keynes expira al final de este año.
