Sergio Perez had a difficult time keeping up with his Red Bull Racing teammate and the reigning champion, Max Verstappen, during
the 2023 season. His subpar performance in the Qatar Grand Prix, when he finished considerably behind Verstappen, served as a stark

does have a B squad, but this season’s drivers Ricciardo and Tsunoda don’t seem to be doing all that well. Can they, however, really
take Checo’s place?
