Max Verstappen romped to a third World Championship in 2023, but arguably sealed it in Miami in May.
On the evening of May 6th, 2023 in Miami, I, Sergio Perez, returned to my hotel after a successful day. I had secured pole position for tomorrow’s Miami Grand Prix, while my main title rival had a disappointing qualifying session. If I win the race, it will be my first time leading the World Championship and a major victory against a driver who previously dominated me. However, my hopes were shattered on Lap 48 when Max Verstappen overtook me and went on to secure victory. This defeat marked the start of a downward spiral for me, impacting my mental state. As a racing driver, the dream of becoming Formula 1 World Champion is what I’ve always aspired to achieve. However, I must come to terms with the fact that beating the all-time great over the garage may not be possible, in order to move forward and improve.
