Christian Horner denied the suggestion from Sergio Perez that his Red Bull team only prioritised one driver prior to his arrival.
This is the Mexican's third season racing for the team, having been offered a lifeline in the wake of his axing from the Racing Point team now branded as Aston Martin. And since then he appears to have gone from strength to strength and gained confidence.
The 2022 season was comfortably Perez's most successful in Formula 1, though he did narrowly miss out on second place in the drivers' championship. And this campaign has started well, with Red Bull's car in a league of its own and Max Verstappen and Perez winning one race each so far.
