.The king of the street tracks, Sergio Perez, put a seal of approval on his title and became the first-ever repeat winner in Baku. The race win in Baku also took Perez closer to his ultimate goal of winning the championship. Although, he has his teammate, Max Verstappen, to chase who is still six points ahead of him after the fourth race. Moreover, the Dutchman isn’t concerned about the points difference because so far the circus has gone to tracks that favor the Mexican. In fact, Verstappen is confident he will have enough opportunities to showcase his mettle throughout the season.

Despite having convincingly beaten Verstappen in Baku, the Dutchman isn’t concerned for two reasons. The first is the fact the Dutchman has been in a championship fight before and comes out on top. He is aware of the level of consistency required and the Red Bull world champion is a consistency monster. Second, and more importantly, he revealed it to the media, including Motorsport.com. The tracks that favor Verstappen are yet to come.

“We all know that the season is long and we have a lot of different circuits ahead of us. So far we have mainly been to circuits that are start-stop, so not really smooth tracks. Later on, there will be circuits with a little more flow in it and with more fast corners, that’s what I like,” Verstappen points out.

Verstappen is ready to take the fight and extend his lead as the season progresses. However, contrary to popular belief, this championship tussle won’t hamper the relationship between the two.

Max Verstappen puts squashes all rumors of a civil war in the Red Bull garage

The two Red Bull men have had moments of contention ever since the 2022 Brazilian GP. The race brought out a spiteful side of Verstappen. Since then, a lot of rumors have circled the two regarding their long-term relationship. However, despite the championship battle, Verstappen put faith in their continued relationship disconnected from the track and the battle on track.

“Checo is doing well this year and that is just nice to see. He now feels more comfortable in the car. That is of course also good for the team. Checo and I get along well, even when we get out of the car. That’s important. You have to be able to recognize when someone else has done well, and that was the case on Sunday,” said Verstappen.
