Perez: Verstappen is Destined to be the Greatest Driver in History, Red Bull Project Built Around Him

The Mexican driver for Red Bull, **Sergio Perez**, shared his thoughts on his performances with the team and on four-time world champion **Max Verstappen**.

«From day one, I realized the importance of being strategic in my approach. I was aware of my role and understood that the project was designed around Max Verstappen. My presence created some tension, but I recognized that there were too many competing interests at play, and I couldn’t reshape the system to fit my needs.

What has happened with Red Bull has turned out to be the best thing for me, and I’ve come to terms with that. Competing for Red Bull under these circumstances requires immense effort. All drivers here face challenges; everyone who joins the team encounters similar hurdles because this car is exceptionally difficult to handle. It’s essential to continually adapt to Verstappen’s driving style.

I believe Max will go down as the greatest driver in history. The Red Bull project is tailored for him. I had to navigate the situation intelligently, think ahead, and stay aware of everything happening around me. Drivers have brief careers, and today, no one remembers the second drivers,» Perez’s statements were reported by Motorsport.
