Perez kept recovering teammate Verstappen at bay in another easy Red Bull one-two at the ꦓSaudi Arab💛ian Grand Prix, but tension appeared to rise within the team. 

• Horner reveals Red Bull team orders agreement after 2022 spat

With both drivers reporting reliability concerns in the final stint, Perez and Verstappenꦐ were told to manage their pace to the end a꧅nd run to a 1m33s target lap time.

Perez was irked by the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“different information” he received after learning to his surprise that Verstappen had snatched the fastest lap bonu🗹s point on th༺e final tour to maintain his championship lead by a point.

And Croft, who reckons the early friction i𒊎s a sign of things to come, h🔥as predicted a “few banana skins down the road” for Red Bull. 

”I am not quite sure everything is 🦄how Christian Horner would like it and how the team would like it for a smooth domination,” Croft told the Sky Sports F1 podcast. 

"They are dominating Formula 1 on the tr💯ack but they came very close to not having that one-two in Bahrain and had issues [in the ♉race in Saudi Arabia].

"In the cooldown room after the race, there was still f𒈔riction between the two drivers. Checo [Perez] was not a happy man at being asked to do target lap times thatܫ were slower than his team-mate.

"Perez is in the last year of hiಌs deal and if there are no signs of another deal coming, what's in it for Sergio to help his team-mate in the way Red Bull would like? I think there are a few banana skins down the road.”

Red Bull have already tried to defuse underlying tension bꦆetween Verstappen and Perez foll🎃owing a team orders row towards the end of last season. 

Croft also noted how Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, and manager Raymond Vermeulen were caught on camera 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:awkwardly refusing to join in with Perez’s victory celebrations in Jeddah.&nb💯sp;
