Th﷽e Red Bull duo have won the first three grands prix of 2023 between them, cementing their team’s dominance after they claimed the drivers’ and constructors’ championship last year.

But there have been obvious problems between the drivers - Verstappen refused tea💙m orders last season, citing an earlier incident where he insisted Perez ruined his qualifying.

Even this year amid their dominance, Perez claimed that he was receiving different instru💖ctions to Verstappen as🥀 they both hunted a point for the fastest lap.

Asked by if his son and Verstappen had issues between them, Antonio Perez🙈 said: That is a lie, let us be clear. 🐻;

“Red Bull is a brand that cos𒈔ts many billions of dollars above Checo and Max. 

“It is a professional team that wants to wi꧑n with its two drivers, they want to have lap one from practice one and they want their two drivers to be 1 and 2.

“There is no🙈 favouritism for ꧋anyone, everything is speculation. 

“Red Bull has the two best tigers in the same cage, if they were not on the sam♛e level there would be no thing that is happening.”

Aston Martin have emerged as the closest challengers t🍨o Red Bull, ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari.

Fernando Alonsꩲo has been on the podium at each race in 2023 so far.

Lewis Hamilton finished as runner-up behi🎐nd꧟ Verstappen in Australia.

“Hopefully more teams and drivers join to fight the championship, that the fight is not onlyꦅ between Checo and Max,” Perez’s father said.

The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is on April 30.
