Martin Brundle: ‘Odd’ for Christian Horner to name Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez as Red Bull's best F1 pairing
During the RB19 livery revealing and Fo🍎rd🐲 engine announcement at a launch event in New York on Friday, Red Bull team principal Ho🐲rner stated his belief that the partnership of Verstappen and Perez was the strongest the team has ever had.
Horner said: “We’re very lucky we got two fantastic drivers and you know their combined efforts the last two years have been stunning.&nbಞsp;
“Obviously, you know, tha♊t first Drivers’ World Championship for Max in ’21 and then the double championship last year and winning 17ღ Grands Prix between the two of them.
“First and third in in the Drivers’ Championship and of course, bringing home that Constructors’ Championship back to Oracle Red Bull Racin🐷g for the first time in eight years. And, you know, these guys, I think it’s the best pairing we’ve ever had in Formula 1. It’s been hugely successful.
“We’re going to need every bit of that this year 🤡as we go against some big opponents, with the other teams looking to come back at us after such a dominant season last year, but we’re very fortunate to have to two such talented drivers.”
Verstappen and Perez were involved in a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:team orders bust-up at the penultimate race of the 2022 season but Red Bull insist the pair have smoothed out tensi𒊎ons and moved on from the incident that overshadowed the end to a double championship-winning campaign.
Sky Sports co-comm🍬entator and pundit Brundle questioned the meaning behind Horner’s comment.
“What does Christian mean when he says be🌳st?,” Brund🌠le said.
“Does he mean that they fit together well in the combo? In other words that Sergio is pro🦹bably a little bit more compliant than Mark Webber or Sebastian Vettel would have been.
“So odd in that respect but Christian’s got the data and that’s what he thinks and he’s the boss. If they’ve th🧜e two you’ve got going into the season ahead, why not say nice things aꦡbout them?”
