Sergio Perez, who registered his second DNF of the season at the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend told Fox Sports, “Max is very good and he is a very complete driver.

“The special thing about Max is the ease of going to the limit, Max goes to the limit from the first lap, every change he makes to the car is important and it’s not that he changes his conditioning style, he always goes to the limit. The difference is always a corner, it is a level that demands a lot as a driver,” Perez added.
Max Verstappen started the 2022 season on a disastrous note as he had to retire twice from the first three races. But, since then Red Bull have found the solution to their relatability issues and hence he has picked up and never looked back.

“We can’t have another zero, we need to correct these problems and be perfect to get closer to the championship. The championship is young and it can change in one or two weekends, we have to keep working and it is a point that will define the year, these zeros are very important at this point,” Perez concluded.
