max verstappen he was champion in 2021 after a tough battle against Lewis Hamilton. In 2022 he strolled, with Charles Leclerc only competing until the middle of the season. And in this 2023 for the moment nobody has ‘proclaimed’ a rival to the Dutch. Neither did his teammate, Czech Perez.
But the lack of competitiveness of the Mexican does not worry Red Bull. Marko Helmut understand the situation. Fighting against Max is not easy. “I think Max is an extremely strong driver, so Checo already has survived two years with himwhich is a great achievement, that’s how it has to be interpreted,” said the team’s adviser in statements to the official Formula 1 podcast.
Over 100 wins Red Bull F1, says it was a very special weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix: “It wasn’t just any race. I’m very calm and relieved to have achieved the goal, but it’s still something incredible.”
“When we bought Jaguar, we didn’t put a lot of money on the table and the boss said, ‘let’s try and maybe win a big prize.’ I’m really sad today that he’s not here to see what we’ve achieved today,” he says, recalling Dieter. Mateschitz.

Pérez, disappointed by his pace
Red Bull is not thinking of replacing Pérez and that reassures the Mexican. Of course, after Canada he was very concerned about his rhythm. He couldn’t catch up with the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Neither to Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes nor to a Fernando Alonso who remains entrenched on the podium.
“I am very disappointed for not having been able to catch the Ferrari. We do not understand why, but there is something strange…”, Checo expressed at the end of the Canadian race.
