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 fa♊iled to make Q3 in five consecutive races and podium finishes were a rare occurrence.

During this period, V𓄧erstappen went on a 10-race winning 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 Mercedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari and McLare✱n, 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 struꦯggles with this Red Bull, admitting it really affected his confidence.

"It just makes me look back at th💟e whole season, it's been a really challenging year," Perez said.

"It started really well, fighting for t🍎he 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 real🅘ly put together a strong [end to the] year, to be able to constantly be fighting at the top, that really is the highlight of my year."

Perez 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 teamma💦te and then the Ferrari driver.
