The victory achieved by Sergio Perez in the Monaco Grand Prix allowed the Mexican Red Bull to strengthen his position in the general standings, so much so that his gap from the leader and teammate Max Verstappen is now only 15 points. In this way, therefore, Perez has already been indicated by many as one of the three potential candidates for the title, to the point that it could also generate a internal challenge with the reigning Dutch champion in the second half of the world championship.
Several commentators have expressed doubts about the continuation of a stable and serene relationship between the two Red Bull drivers, who could therefore come into conflict as has often happened in F1 history. Verstappen, however, has already wanted to clarify that a similar hypothesis will not occur, precisely on the basis of the mutual respect that exists between him and the 32-year-old from Guadalajara. Regardless of what the possible consequences will be, another former driver in the F1 roll of honor hopes to be able to see a healthy wheel to wheel between the two bearers of the Anglo-Austrian team: Jenson Button.
The Englishman, world champion in 2009, believes that there will be no particular friction between the two, fully aware of the abilities and characteristics of his neighbor in the box: “Max is very confident and is aware of his talent – said Button – but it is true that it was a great weekend for Checo in Monaco. He has to continue like this: this is his second win with Red Bull, just think of how many Max has achieved. to Max for see them go wheel to wheel more often. Moreover – he added – the team cannot choose a top driver at this stage, because they are too close in the standings and anything can happen this season. It is exciting to see them fight and I like that this is the case in Formula 1 this season, and that there are not only teams behind a driver ”.
