Antonio Perez, the father of the Mexican Red Bull Racing driver, believes that his son is gradually closing the gap with his teammate, three-time world champion Max Verstappen, and this is due to the fact that Sergio has changed his way of working.
“I think we are getting closer to Max every day,” the Spanish newspaper quotes Marca Perez Sr. – The fact is that Sergio has been learning to fly in Max’s style since the beginning of this season. If earlier he tried to adapt the car to himself, now, since the RB20 takes into account Verstappen’s preferences to a greater extent, Sergio is studying the features of his style.
He must make sure he feels comfortable behind the wheel. And in the championship he is not so far behind, he occupies second place in the individual rankings, but give it time: the season is very long and so far we have not seen everything that Sergio is capable of.
Besides, his relationship with Max is much better now. They are like two tigers in one cage. But if you ask me who I would like to see as Sergio’s partner, I would answer that I would prefer him to be the best driver in the world. In this case my son is in second place, but I hope the day comes when he can surpass Max.”
