Red Bull

Before the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, it’s unlikely Red Bull’s pairing of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez would ever be considered for such a list.

Given the vast perfo♔rmance disparity between the pair, Red Bull have a clear hiera🔯rchy in the team.

However, Perez’s impressive early season form, whe♒n Verstappen struggled to get to grips with the overweight RB18, did cause some drama which ultimately came out in the latter stages of the year.

With Perez embroiled in a tight fight for second in the drivers’ championship against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, he needed as many points as possible.

Verstappen - who had already💎 secured the title in Japan - was running ahead of Perez in the closing laps of the Sao Paulo G💮P after overtaking his teammate shortly after the Safety Car.

Red Bull had ordered Verstappen to let Perez through for sixth-place, ꦰbut refused to do so.

It 🐎was petty from Verstappen, given it was only over two championship points, however, the reason 𝐆behind his refusal to assist Perez soon transpired, tracing back to his crash in Q3 in Monaco.

Both drivers have made it clear that they have moved on from what happened, but in F1 2023, if Verstappen needs Perez’s support, will he be willing to help? ꦇAnd vice versa.

Mercedes

In most people’s opinions, including mine, Mercedes have the best driver l🌳ine-up on th⛎e grid.

Seven-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton continues to perform close to his best despite his winless 2022 campaign, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell confirmed he has a𝄹ll the credentials to be a title contender in the🌸 right machinery.

Due to Mercedes’ lack o🐼f competitiveness in 2022, Hamilton and Russell were forced to work collaboratively to help cure the W13’s host of issues, particularly with porpoising.

There’s no doubt the dynamic would have bee🌃n dif🍌ferent had the W13 been a title-contending car.

Hamilton is still hungry for an eighth world title, while Russell - at just 24 - feels ready to take his fi🦩rst.

It’s unlikely Mercedes will ever have a 🌌situation they faced in 2014-16 with Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, given that R𒁏ussell idolises his veteran teammate. 

However, if theꦗre’s a tit🌜le up for grabs, it’s hard not to see some drama ensuing at some point across the season.

Alpine

One team near📖 certain of friction between their teammate pairing is Alpine.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon has a knack of irritating his teammates - ask Perez or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.

Plus, his long history with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly stretching back to their days in kartingᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ adds another reason for potential drama🐠.

Along with Mercedes, Alpine have one o🍒f the most evenly-matched driver pairings on the grid.

Ocon enjoyed his best season in 2022 as he out-scored Alonso - the first time he has ever beaten a teammate in t🤡he standings.

On the other hand, Gasly struggled 💃relatively to his previous two years, partially down to an underperforming AlphaTauri car combined with a potential lack of moti💟vation ahead of his switch to Alpine.

With both drive🃏rs looking for supremacy within the team, it’s going to be fir𒈔eworks.

Aston Martin

In performance terms, Alonso and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lance Stroll is a bit of a mis-m𝓡atch, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be drama.

Boꦕth drivers aren’t af𒁏raid to get close with their teammate, backed up by Alonso and Stroll’s incidents with their respective teammates in 2022.

Unlike Mercedes and Alpine, it’s highly unl❀ikely they will be closely-matched on track but on the occasions they are, it could be one to watch given Alonso’s aggressive style combined with Stroll’s no-nonsense, slightly clumsy way of racing.
