Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing’s F1 team representative, said Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez had a smiley conversation outside of the race, but their teammates were never real mates (friends, companions). Insist that it is not.
Now that Red Bull’s F1 car feels more comfortable, Sergio Perez wants to be an F1 world champion like Max Verstappen. Christian Horner says it creates different dynamics within the team.
Asked how to deal with two drivers who want to win, Christian Horner has no bonus for the Drivers’Championship and Red Bull Racing itself distributes only to the locations of the Constructors’ Championship. He emphasized that he could get money.
“The driver is the contractor of the team and is there to perform for the team. Teammates are a misconception and they are the worst. They are never mates. Another one. Only the guy in the car can make a decision for himself. He’s the only guy with the same equipment, so he either succeeds in his career or breaks it. ” Christian Horner said in an interview with the Cambridge Union.
And Christian Horner emphasized that Sergio Perez was a big asset for the 2021 team. At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Perez held Lewis Hamilton for a long time, eventually allowing Max Verstappen to win the F1 World Champion.
“It’s been completely reset this year. Sergio feels the car more comfortable and now believes he can be the world champion. It adds another dynamic,” continued Christian Horner.
“Our main competitor is Ferrari, but of course the drivers want to compete with each other. But,’Hey, be careful. This isn’t your car. It’s designed for you, It’s for the 800 people who built it. I’m lucky to be able to drive it. Respect it and take care of it. “
Red Bull Racing used team orders for the first time this season at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix. Sergio Perez was clearly dissatisfied. Perez is currently second in the championship and therefore still has a chance to win the title.
