With Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, Red Bull has an incredible driver pairing. Formula 1 is a highly competitive sport. And most of the time, that competition is within the team itself. But Max and Sergio have maintained an incredible relationship on and off the track. And if history is any proof, it’s difficult to maintain such a relationship within a team.
However, Max and Sergio are setting goals for the other teams. Both drivers show mutual respect towards each other. And it’s a pleasant sight to see, considering how ugly things can get within a team.

Max and Sergio, during a pre-race interview, were presented with a question, “What have you learnt about each other since you’ve been teammates?” To which Sergio hilariously replied, “I know what I’ve learned a lot, to swear a lot more.” No one can disagree with Sergio if you’ve heard radio exchanges between the team and Max. Max, however, said, “I never swear, it’s just my language.” Of course Max!

And to clear any doubts, he added, “It sounds very wrong, but it’s okay”. The Red Bull men obviously maintain a very fun and healthy relationship, as witnessed.
