Perez Frustrated After Verstappen Refused Red Bull F1 Team Orders

View the original article to see embedded media.

Sergio Pérez made his feelings crystal clear on Sunday after Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen did not let him have his position back at the end of the São Paulo Grand Prix. 

The Mexican driver was running third before he was passed by Ferrari duo Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc and eventually Alpine’s Fernando Alonso after a late safety car. This landed Pérez in sixth with Verstappen right behind him in seventh. The Dutchman, who already clinched the 2022 world championship, overtook his teammate, but engineer Hugh Bird informed Pérez that if Verstappen could not overtake the Alpine, the positions would be swapped.
