F1 | Red Bull, Perez: “Verstappen is the driver of the moment”

In such an intense, exciting and unpredictable battle between Red Bull-Mercedes and Verstappen-Hamilton, the second drivers also have and will have a very important role (in the next two final races of the season). Sergio Perez knows this very well, with the Mexican called to help the team and the Dutch for both world championship crowns. Checo, speaking to Canal Plus, underlined how he will have no problems playing as a team and therefore giving way to the Dutchman if necessary.

"Max is the rider of the moment, he is very strong – declared Perez – It's not easy being his teammate, but I think I'm doing well. Stressful season? Yes, certainly. We are coming to the end, but there is still much to do. I would have liked to win more races, but I had to adapt to the team. It's a real process with such a competitive car. It took a little longer than expected. Team play? Max is the one fighting for the championship, I have no problem helping him, it's in everyone's interest. It doesn't bother me. I have team spirit".
