Perez promises “world champion” performance: ‘I want to show that on track’
Red Bull clinched their sixth F1 constructors’ title at Suzuka with Max Verstappen’s dominant victory, while Sergio Perez endured a difficult race, suffering damage and a penalty. Despite retiring, Red Bull sent him back out to serve the penalty so he wouldn’t have a grid penalty for the next race. Looking ahead to the Qatar Grand Prix, Perez is determined to showcase why Red Bull are the reigning world champions on the track. He sees this weekend as an opportunity to win in both the sprint and main race, but acknowledges the challenges of setting up the car for the sprint format and the sandy surface. The night race in Qatar promises to be a hot event that requires careful car management. Verstappen has a chance to secure his third consecutive drivers’ title if he finishes sixth or higher in the sprint race.
