The Red Bull duo have won the first three grands prix of 2023 between them, cementing their team’s do🍰minance after they claimed the drivers’ and constructors’ championship last year.

But there ha✱ve been obvious problems between the driv๊ers - Verstappen refused team orders last season, citing an earlier incident where he insisted Perez ruined his qualifying.

Even thi💃s year amid their dominance, Perez claimed that he was receiving different inꦑstructions to Verstappen as they both hunted a point for the fastest lap.

A𒉰sked by if his son and Verstappen had issues between them, Antonio Perez said: That is a lie, l꧑et us be clear. 

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

“It is a professional team that wants to win with its two dri꧅vers, they want to have lap one from practice one and they want their two drivers t🍬o be 1 and 2.

“There is no favou𓆏ritism for anyone, everything is speculation. 

“Red Bull has the two be꧒s൲t tigers in the same cage, if they were not on the same level there would be no thing that is happening.”

Aston Martin have emerged as t♍he closest challengers to Red Bull𓄧, ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari.

Fernando Alonso has been o🍃n🌠 the podium at each race in 2023 so far.

Lewis Hamilton fiജnished as runner-up behind Verstappen in Australia.

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

The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is on April 30.
