Perez aiming “to do one better” in 2024 but recognises Verstappen “challenge”
In 2023, Sergio Perez finished a distant second-place in F1, trailing his teammate by a massive 290 points. Despite a strong start to the year with two wins in the first four races, Perez’s form declined after a defeat in Miami, leading to a string of five races where he failed to make it into Q3. However, he ended the season on a better note, holding off Lewis Hamilton to secure the runner-up position. Perez’s main goal for the upcoming season is to surpass his previous second-place finish and maintain consistency throughout. While he focuses on his own approach, he acknowledges that there are things to learn from his teammate, Max Verstappen, observing his competitiveness and adopting various strategies to improve his own performance.
