Perez sits one-point behind Verstappen in the drivers’ championship after winning last 🐻weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The Mexican has never led the world championship in his F1 career but was on course to do so in Jeddah had Verstappen not taken the fastest lap on the final la🦋p.

With Red Bull enjoying a significant advantage over the rest of the field in F1 2023, Perez is realistiꦦcally Ve🤪rstappen’s only challenger for the title this year.

However, Massa - who narrowly missed out on the 2008 title to Lewis Hamilton - believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc would be Red Bull’s “biggest 🧔challenger” if Ferrari could give him a title-challenging level of car.

“Like Max and Lewis, Charles is an exceptional driver,” Massa told Bild. 

“He is cur🐈rently the biggest title challenger for Red Bull. 

“Their second driver, Sergio Pérez, is too inconsistent. Just like 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz from Ferrari.”

Massa rates168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell highly, particularly as he managed toꦗ out-score Hamilto🍷n in 2022.

“I trust him to do that,” he added. “One must not forget: Last year, i𓄧n his first season at Merc🅷edes, he left Lewis behind in the world championship. 

“✃An incredible performance. Before that, only Nico Rosberg succeeded in this in Lewis' entire career in 2016 [Jenson Button as well in 2011]. George is🧸 a top driver.”
