‘It’s not on me’ - Max Verstappen's response if he will help Sergio Perez in Lewis Hamilton fight
Perez sits 20 points ahead of Hamilton in the race for runner-up behind Verstappen in F1 2023.
Coincidentally, it’s 12 months on from when Verstappen refused to move over for Perez on the final lap to assist the Mexican in his battle with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc for P2.
Verstappen didn’t follow Re𝓀d Bull’s team order because he was unhapp☂y with Perez’s alleged deliberate crash at the Monaco Grand Prix earlier in 2022.
Ultimately, Perez went on to lose second in tಌhe drivers’ championship to Leclerc.
Red Bull hav🅰e never seen their driv🌳ers finish first and second in the standings, and given their dominant car this year, Perez has no excuses.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Verstappen wa🌞s asked whether he’d be willing to assist his team𝄹mate this weekend.
He replie🧸dꦅ: “At the end of the day I think it shouldn’t always be on me to get the points.
“I am confident that in Checo that he can stay ahead as I do think on average we have the faster car and I think also last year it wasn’t really well spoken about before we got into the race weekend. 🧸;
“Let’s just hope we don’t get into that situati💞on. I think it’s better for everyone.”
