After a strong start to F1 2023, winning two of the opening four races, Perez’s form dipped after he was beaten by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in Miami.

Perez failed to make Q3 in five c♛onsecutive races and podium finishes were a rare occurrence.

During this period, Verstappen went on a 10-race w🌼inning streak, effectively wrapping up the title before the summer break.

Perez’s stuttering form meant he was under threat from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso for P2 in the championship.

Given a lack of consistency amongst the likes of M𝔉ercedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari and McLaren, Perez did enough to secure the runners-up spot, giving Red Bull a 1-2 for the first time in their history.

Reflecting on the season, Perez opened up about his struggles with t💫his Red Bull, admitting it real🐼ly affected his confidence.

"It just makeꦬs me look back at the whole season, it'🌜s been a really challenging year," Perez said.

"It started really well, fighting for the championship, but then, I think in Barcelona, we had such a dominant car, but I just couldn🦩't set it up properly. It was just getting out of my hands, the confidence was going down.

"To manage to come back and really ꦰput together a strong [end to the] year, to be able to constantly be fighting at the top, t💧hat really is the highlight of my year."

Pereﷺz enjoyed a strong Las Vegas Grand Prix, finishing third after running at the back following damage on the opening lap.

He did have the opportunity to win the race but struggled to pull away from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc before losing out⛄ to his♑ teammate and then the Ferrari driver.
