Sergio Perez fancies his chances in F1 title battle with Red Bull rival Max Verstappen

Sergio Perez believes he is very much in the Formula 1 title race with team-mate Max Verstappen this season.

The Mexican is riding a wave after winning the Monaco Grand Prix last time out, his third race win in F1 and his second since joining his current employers. It was a result which put him within just 15 points of championship leader Verstappen who crossed the line third.

His strong performances this season and the faith placed in him by Red Bull have led to suggestions the 32-year-old might be a contender for the title. Charles Leclerc is Verstappen's closest rival, just nine points behind, but a confident Perez could be in the mix as well if his form stays strong.
