F1 | Antonio Perez: “Checo and Verstappen are two tigers in the same cage”

2024 must represent the season of redemption, after the difficulties suffered last year where he still managed to maintain second place in the Drivers' Championship ahead of Lewis Hamilton, and so far Sergio Perez's start to the championship has been very good. The Mexican was in fact the only driver to always bring the Red Bull to the finish line in the first five races of the World Championship, obtaining the podium on four occasions.

Positive performances which, if accompanied by the continuity of results that were missing last year, would put him in a good position to secure a renewal with Red Bull. We remind you that Perez's current contract with the Milton Keynes team expires at the end of 2024.

Antonio Perez, Checo's father, discussing the relationship between his son and teammate Max Verstappen, underlined how their professional and human relationship is despite both aiming for the highest stakes.

“Checo's relationship with Max has improved a lot – he declared to the microphones of Aztec Sports – They are two tigers in the same cage, I told them this too and if they asked me, who would you like to see Checo as a teammate, I would say the best in the world. So, whatever happens today, Checo is the second best in the world in Formula 1."
