Max Verstappen has come out in support of his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez as the Mexican's future looks uncertain. The 2024 F1 season highlighted the stark difference between the two drivers became even more evident as Red Bull's RB20 proved to be a handful.
While Verstappen too struggled with the drop in competitiveness of the car, his performance did not fall off the cliff like Perez's, who was just unable to find the sweet spot with the machinery. The large gap in performance has ended up costing Red Bull a shot at the Constructors Championship in 2024 as the team fell to P3 in the standings.
In light of this, Red Bull has been speculating about a replacement with both Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda in the running. While Perez's future hangs in the balance, Verstappen was questioned on what his view was on the Mexican's performances this season.
