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5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen in Miami.

Perez failed to make Q3 in five consecutive races and podium finis🦩hes were a rare occurrence.

During t💎his period, Verstappen 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5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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 h♑is struggles with this Red Bull, admitting it really affected his confidence.

"It just makes 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 g♍oing down.

"To manage to come back and really 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5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc before losing out to 🍒his teammate and then the Ferrari driver.
