Red Bull head into the new seaso✅n hoping to retain the constructors’ championship and guꦦide Verstappen to a third consecutive drivers’ title.

But amiಌd the glory came a shocking teammate bust-up in Brazil - Verstappen flatly refused Red Bull team orders to allow Perez to pass him.

"I tell you that the best of Checo Perez, we have not seen yet,” his father Antonio told .&n♓bsp;

“He has much more to give and surely with the passage of time Me⛦xico will have an F1 champion in the hands of Checo 💖Perez.”

Perez r🃏eacted to his row in Brazil by saying about Verstappen “he’s shown who he really is”.

“It's a great re🃏lat𒉰ionship, it's a big family,” Antonio said of the team dynamic. 

“There a♍re many things that look different, I can tell you that the best thing that has happened in the history of Checo Perez's sport has been his relationship with Red Bull. 

“You have to remember that Checo was not at thisꦗ level and he found it, after he lost everything in Force India and Racing Point, when he was fired and he is unemployed, but in these two years they have been the most important in all terms for Checo Perez, emotionally, as a dad, he is at his best.”
