Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez is prepared “to support” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen if team ord✱ers are depl𝓀oyed at this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Verstappen leads 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris by 62 points in the drivers’ champion🎀ship heading into the final eight rounds of the year.

Red Bull appear to be back in the fight inౠ Azerbaijan this weekend, with the top four teams evenly matched.

The good news fo▨r Red Bull is that Perez has shown great pace throughout the weekend - and historically has performed well in Azerbaijan.

As a𓄧 result, Red Bull might have two cars in close proximity to each other - something that hasn’t been a common occurreᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnce this year.

Speaking to Sky Sports after FP3, Horner was as🔯ked about Red Bull’s stance on team orders amid Perez’s improvement in ღform.

“It depends where the others are,” Horner said. “Team orders are always a contentious 😼subject, but Checo knows 100% what his role and job is - to support Max to the end of this championship – and obviously the constructors'.

“We have seen him, you only haꦡve to think back to Abu Dhabi 2021 to see what a team player Checo♔ is, so for us the game plan is pretty straightforward. I would love that headache to be managing on the last few laps.”

Perez is the sport’s most successful driver when it comes to racing in Azerbaijan, taking two🌊 wins previously.

He also ෴impressed during his Force India days, tak🐭ing two podiums.

When asked why Perez performs so well in Baku, he said: “I have no idea,” Hไorner conceded when asked just why Perez shines around the streets of Baku.

“It makes no logical sense in that it is high-speed straights with barriers, 90-degree corners, but ꦐhe has always been magic around here. If he had a 24-race championship in Azerbaijan he would be pretty tough to beat. It is important to carry that momentum into th𓄧e race.”

Red Bull have an eight-point lead in the constructors’ champion🔥ship ahead of Sunday’s r♋ace.
