According to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, Sergio Perez has the toughest job in Formula 1 as Max Verstappen’s teammate, considering Verstappen’s exceptional performance this season. Although Perez won a few races at the beginning, he was unable to beat Verstappen in any competitive session after May. Nonetheless, Horner commends Perez for his mental strength and resilience, resulting in his second-place finish in the drivers’ standings. Horner believes Perez’s ability to handle the pressure makes him the frontrunner to continue driving for Red Bull beyond 2024, unless he fails to meet expectations. Perez himself is optimistic about the upcoming season, having learned from the challenges faced in the previous year and expecting the team to be stronger and more well-rounded.
