Verstappen is on course to take a third consecutive drivers’ crown in F1 2023, winning 10 of the opening 12 races.

He’s on course to equal 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel’s record for nine consecutive victo𒁏ries and is likely to do so when F1 returns at Zandv𒅌oort - the home of the Dutch Grand Prix.

As Verstappen has excelled in 2023, Perez in the second Red Bull🤪 has struggled, particularly since Miami.

Perez has failed to make Q3 on five occa🥂sions, finishing second just once since Monaco.

Speaking to ESPN, Brown explained why 2023 would be an exciting season if Verstappen wasn’t in෴ t💟he Red Bull.

“As much as Red Bull's killing everyone r🌠ight now... it's really Max is ꧃killing everyone right now," Brown said.

“If they had two Sergios in the car, with all due respect, this champio🏅nship would kind of be wide open. So you've got😼 something pretty special going on with Max and Red Bull.”

“If you take Max out of it an🉐d take everyone who's finished second this year and give them a win, it would be a pretty competitive, exciting champions♛hip.

“We've had a second, Aston's had a second, Ferrari's had a second, Mဣerced♐es has had a second, Sergio's had a second. You would have five teams that would have won a race this year.

“As soon as we 🀅all catch up to Red Bull I think that's going to be ไthe state of play for F1.”

Brown dismissed fears that Verstap💎pen’s dominance would drive away fans, particularly in the United States, where F1 has grown in recent years through things like Drive to Survive on Netflix.

“No. I think one, the races are uber exciting,” he added. “And it's not just about who wins, right? There's racing throughout the field a⛎nd the racing's been 🧸awesome.

“I think we've seen in other sports, Tiger Woods wins every single time out and ratings were never greater because people admire seeing an athlete at the top of the spo🙈rt.

“I wouldn't want it to go on forever but I don't think it's hurting us. The depth of competꦆition is fascinating, the races have be🌼en super exciting and they tend to cover the whole field.

“I wouldn't wa✃nt to see it continue, for selfish reasons, but for right nowꦬ it's totally sustainable."
