Sergio Perez declared his desire to get the better of his Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen this season – before hastily deleting the social media post.
The Mexican won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix from pole position with Verstappen in second. The Dutchman's task in Jeddah was made much more difficult my a mechanical problem when ended his qualifying abruptly and forced him to start 15th on the grid.
Verstappen wasted little time in cutting through the field until only Perez was ahead of him. But the Mexican was able to admirably keep his team-mate at arm's length in the second half of the race to take the chequered flag and to move to just one point behind in the championship.
