Moreover, Checo has become the third contender to possibly win the championship year. Sitting on 110 points and only 15 points behind his Dutch team mate, he is very much in the race to win a title this year. The Mexican sits only 6 points behind Leclerc and might also take over the Monegasque soon.

Notably, Perez was in contention over his Red Bull seat with Pierre Gasly. However, with this win and solid consecutive performances, the Mexican arguably is not going anywhere. So, what are your predictions for him? Will Checo win more races?
