F1 pundit Billy Monger suggests that the recent decline in performance for Sergio Perez may actually benefit Red Bull, despite the Mexican driver’s aspirations for a title challenge against teammate Max Verstappen in the 2023 Formula 1 season.
Perez began the season strongly, securing victories in the Saudi Arabian and Azerbaijan Grands Prix, along with a sprint race win in Azerbaijan. He seemed poised to pose a significant challenge to Verstappen and engage in a title battle with his Red Bull counterpart for the first time. However, consistency has eluded Perez in his recent outings, with no appearances in Q3 or podium finishes in the last three races.
