After a strong start to F1 2023, winning two of the opening four races, Perez’s form dipped after he was beaten by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in Miami.

Perez failed to make Q3 in five consecutive races and podium fiꦬnishes were a rare occurrence.

During this period, Verstappen went on a 10-race winning streak, e🐻ffectively wrapping up the title before the summe⛎r break.

Perez’s stuttering form meant he was under threat from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso for P2 in the championship.

Given a lack of consistency amongst the likes of Mercedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari and McLaren, ✃Perez did enough to secure the runners-up spot, giving Red Bull a 1-2 for the first time in their history.

Reflecting on the season, Perez opened up about his struggles with 🌟this Red Bull, admitting it really affected his confidence.

"It just makes me look back at the whole season, it's beওen ♛a really challenging year," Perez said.

"I♍t started really well, fighting fo💎r the championship, but then, I think in Barcelona, we had such a dominant car, but I just couldn't set it up properly. It was just getting out of my hands, the confidence was going down.

"To manage to come back and really put together a strong [end to the] year, to be able to constantly be fighting at the top, that really is the hi💖ghlight of my year."

Perez enjoyed a strong Las Vegas Grand Prix, finishing third after running at the back following damage o🌼n the opening lap🍨.

He did have the opportunity to win the race but struggled to pull away from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc before losing out to his teammate and then the ꦬFerrari driver.
