‘If Red Bull had two Sergio Perezes? F1 championship would be wide open’
Verstappen is on course to take a third consecutive drivers’ crown in F1 2023, winning 10 of the opening 12 races.
He’s on course to equal 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel’s reco𒉰rd for nine consecutive victories and is likely to do so when F1 returns at Za🍨ndvoort - the home of the Dutch Grand Prix.
As Verstappen ha𒉰s excelled in 2023, Perez in the second Red Bull has struggled, particularly sinc♏e Miami.
Perez has failed to mak🐟e Q3 on five occasionꦫs, finishing second just once since Monaco.
Speaking to ESPN, Brown explained why 2023 would be an exciting season if Verstappen wasn’t in the Re🌳d Bull.
“As much as Red Bull's killing everyone right now... it's really Max is killin🤡g everyone right now," Brown said.
“If they had two Sergios in the car, with all due respect, this championship would kind of be wide open. So you've got⭕ something pretty special going on with Max and Red Bull.”
“If you take Max out of it and take everyoneꦦ who's finished second this year and give them a win, it would be a pretty competitive, exciting championsꦍhip.
“We've had a seco🐼nd, Aston's had a second, ✅Ferrari's had a second, Mercedes has had a second, Sergio's had a second. You would have five teams that would have won a race this year.
“As soon as we all catch up to Red Bull I think that's g🌱oing to be the state of play for F1.”
Brown dismissed fears that Verstappen’s dominance would drive away fans, particularly💞 in the Unite🍰d States, where F1 has grown in recent years through things like Drive to Survive on Netflix.
“No. I think one, the races are uber exciting,” he added. “And it's not just about who wins, right? There's racing throughout the f💮ield and the racing's been awesome.
“I think we've𝄹 seen in other sports, Tiger Woods wins every single time out and ꦍratings were never greater because people admire seeing an athlete at the top of the sport.
“I wouldn't want it to go on forever but I don't think ♊it's hurtinꦡg us. The depth of competition is fascinating, the races have been super exciting and they tend to cover the whole field.
“I wouldn't want to see it continue, fo🎶r selfish reasons, but for right now it's totally sustainable."
