Christian Horner thinks Sergio Perez has "the capability" of beating Max Verstappen – but doubts his chances of pulling it off over the course of a Formula 1 season.
The Dutchman has driven at a remarkable level over the two seasons he has been partnered with Perez. Firstly he went toe-to-toe with – and beat – Lewis Hamilton to the 2021 title, while last season he was in a league of his own as he romped to a second championship success.
Perez performed well, winning two races and scoring strongly on a consistent basis to finish third in the championship. But he was 149 points adrift of his fellow Red Bull racer by the end of the season, as Verstappen won a record 15 races in total.
