Sergio Perez has opened up on what it was really like alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull, and says he was warned before he ever signed. "The first time I met Christian, he told me: we go racing with two cars because we have to. Otherwise, we'd be super happy just to race with one car. Everything is for Max, around Max," Perez recalled. "To face Max at Red Bull is the toughest challenge. You need the best of the best in every area, and you just don't have that. Everything goes to Max. But I knew that before I came." Across four seasons Perez took five wins and gave Red Bull its first ever one-two in the drivers' standings in 2023, yet still finished that year on 285 points to Verstappen's 575. Red Bull has run through Lawson, Tsunoda and Hadjar since he left. 📸📰 via PlanetF1, High Performance podcast #F1 #SergioPerez #Verstappen #RedBull
