F1 fans reacted to Max Verstappen getting emotional while recalling how Sergio Perez helped him win against Lewis Hamilton in the 2021 F1 season. Verstappen recalled the moment after Red Bull confirmed Perez's exit from the team.
The 34-year-old has had a challenging season in 2024. He had a strong start to the season, bagging podiums and keeping up with his teammate, Max Verstappen. However, he tumbled down the standings after the Monaco GP, lost the ability to earn respectable points, and failed to place on the podium following the Chinese GP. After the Abu Dhabi GP, Red Bull decided to part ways with the Mexican, and the announcement was made on Wednesday, December 18.
