After a strong start to F1 2023, winning two of the opening four races, Perez’s form dipped after he was beaten by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in Miami.

Perez failed t▨o make Q3 in five consecutive races and podium finishes were a rare occurrence.

During this period, Verstappen went o🍰n a 10-race winning streak, effectively wrapping up the title before the summer break.

Perez’s stuttering form meant he was under threat from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso for P2 in the championship.

Given a lack of consistency amongst the likes of Merꦍcedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari and McLaren, Perez did enough to secure the runners-up spot, giving Red Bull a 1-2 for the first time in their h꧑istory.

Reflecting on the season, Perez opened up about his struggles with this Red Bull, admitting it 𓂃really affected his confidence.

"It just makes me lo🧸✃ok back at the whole season, it's been a really challenging year," Perez said.

"It started really well, fighting for the championship, but then, I think 🌳in Barcelona, we had such a dominant car, but I jus𒁏t couldn't set it up properly. It was just getting out of my hands, the confidence was going down.

"To manage to come back and really put together a strong [end to the] year, to be able to constantly be fighting at the top, that really is the highlight of my꧟ year."

Perez enjoyed a strong Las Vegas Grand Prix, finishing🌜 thไird after running at the back following damage on the opening lap.

He did have the opportunity to win the race but struggled to pull away from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc before losing out to his teammate and then the Ferrari driver𝐆.
