The Formula One 2023 season is just around the corner and fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an exciting year of racing. One of the key aspects of every F1 season is the intra-team battles, as drivers from the same team compete against each other for supremacy. The dynamic between teammates can often be just as interesting as the battle for the championship itself, as drivers push each other to perform at their best. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at how the team-mate battles are shaping up for the upcoming F1 season and what we can expect from some of the top teams on the grid.
Number 1. Red Bull – Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
Sparks flew on the track during the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2022 when Red Bull teammates Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez had a moment of disagreement. Verstappen, who had been leading the race, refused to let Perez pass on the final lap, causing a rift between the two drivers. Verstappen defended his decision, but Perez didn’t hold back, saying that it revealed Verstappen’s true nature. While both drivers later reconciled and confirmed that their relationship remained amicable, there’s no denying that the incident could have a lasting impact on their willingness to support each other in the future. With the new F1 season just around the corner, the question on everyone’s mind is how the team-mate battles will play out in 2023.
