How Perez's “in the fight” claim for 2023 F1 title glory really stacks up
OPINION: Sergio Perez’s two Baku wins have shrunk the gap to his championship-leading Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen and raised his hopes of a Formula 1 title challenge. But is that realistic for a driver so soundly beaten in 2022?
"We dominated this weekend. We just have to sort out the issues. We cannot have issues like we had in Melbourne. [If we can sort out the issues] we are in the fight, guys."
Sergio Perez, having won twice on the Baku streets last weekend, is certain that he can push his Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen in the 2023 Formula 1 title fight. And he clearly thinks he can win it too.
