Christian Horner asserted that Max Verstappen will "fully support" Sergio Perez's push for second place in the championship after the Dutchman's refusal to let his teammate pass at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The Mexican had allowed Verstappen past earlier in the race to try to chase down Fernando Alonso ahead of them. But on the final lap, after it became clear he would not be able to catch the Alpine, the champion was told by his team to give the place back to Perez.
But he refused, instead crossing the line sixth with the Mexican, who needs all the points he can get in the fight for second place in the standings, one place behind. The result means Perez is level on points with Charles Leclerc heading into the Abu Dhabi season finale.
