“You’re Gonna Get Fired”: Red Bull Golden Boy Max Verstappen Once Risked His F1 Career to Complete Sergio Perez’s Wicked Dare

Despite their recent brawl, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have been one of the best driver pairings on the grid. Their relationship has been quite strong. In one of Red Bull’s old videos, the duo can be seen sharing a good laugh as the Dutchman is faced with a hilarious challenge.

Max Verstappen is all business on race days. The Red Bull driver is as focused and is known for his no-nonsense approach. Despite that, the 25-year-old wasn’t shy of displaying his childish side in one of Red Bull’s promotional videos shot with teammate Checo Perez.

The team dared the Dutch Lion to call Red Bull boss Christian Horner as a prank and quack like a duck. As Verstappen was about to call his boss, Perez jokingly said, “You’re gonna get fired.” To this, Max was left pondering, “Why do I always have to do these things?”

The Dutchman even double-checked to see if the team was serious about the dare or not. Unfortunately for him, they were, and he had to call the Red Bull boss and quack on the call. Christian Horner took it sportingly and joked that the entire Red Bull Marketing team was fired.

Max Verstappen reveals his relationship with teammate Sergio Perez is “great”

Max Verstappen defied team orders and didn’t allow Sergio Perez to pass in the Brazilian GP. This created a lot of drama and gave rise to rumors that Checo was left heartbroken. However, the 2-time world champion has cleared the air regarding the same.

Verstappen told Sky Sports, “We move on. Honestly, I have a great relationship with Checo. But I just don’t understand when people don’t have the full picture, to immediately start attacking me like that.”

He further continued, “I’m just a bit fed up with all this bull**** just going around all the time. At the end of the day, I haven’t done anything wrong, people just misunderstood what was going on.”
