Sergio Perez’s 2024 Season at Red Bull
As the 2024 Formula 1 season unfolds, Sergio Perez finds himself in the cockpit of the Red Bull Racing car, aiming for greatness. But is this truly his best year with the team?
Looking at the numbers, it’s safe to say that the 2024 F1 season is not Perez’s best start. While he consistently scores points, he remains a step behind Max Verstappen. In 2023, Perez was mighty competitive, even challenging Max for wins. However, this year, he faces a tougher battle within the team.
Despite the statistics, Sergio Perez remains optimistic. He feels better prepared to tackle the RB20, Red Bull’s 2024 car. As he enters his fourth year with the team, Perez aims to be at his best. His hunger for success and determination to contribute to Red Bull’s championship aspirations drive him forward.
