Red Bull F1 boss Horner says Perez and Verstappen remain free to race each other, and expects their battles to 'ebb and flow' this year.
Red Bull Formula 1 boss Christian Horner says Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen remain free to race each other and expects their battle to “ebb and flow” during this season.Victories for Perez in both Saturday’s sprint and Sunday’s grand prix in Azerbaijan left the Mexican just six points shy of his team-mate after the first four events of the 2023 campaign.
“Well at moment it's the two of them,” said Horner of the title battle. “There's a slight gap between the rest of the field, but there's 19 more races to go, and five sprint races. Horner made it clear that there are no team orders in the Red Bull camp, and thus it’s a straight fight between Verstappen and Perez.
“And they pushed each other as hard as they could, and it was a fine margin today that split the two of them.”
