The arrival of Sergio Perez a Red Bull does not threaten the domain of Mercedes in Formula 1, but also for loving Max Verstappen in the Austrian team, something that manifested itself with what was done in the classification of the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna, where the Mexican cut an important line to the Dutch.
Max had gotten used to seeing his teammates from behind, although Pérez now said he won’t just be a great ally in the fight against the pair Lewis Hamilton Y Valtteri Bottasdifferent also a competitor which he must overcome in his battle for the drivers title.
With the second place that Imola achieved, Checo ended a streak of 30 races without passing Verstappen by a teammate in the qualifying rounds.
At the Canadian Grand Prix of 2019, Pierre Gasly managed to reach fifth place Verstappen was in position 11, although it was the only time he lost in that entire season.
Red Bull keeps its promise
A few weeks ago, before the start of the season, Christian Horner, head of Red Bull, assured that Checo and Verstappen they would have the same opportunities, something that was taken in moderation at the time given Max’s hierarchy, although what has been said was fully met.
