Sergio Perez: Red Bull chief Christian Horner addresses Max Verstappen feud theories

However, Perez’s move to Red Bull has led to claims that he might clash with Verstappen.

Vertsappen finished in the F1 Drivers Standings in 2021, behind only Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, while Perez ended up in fourth.

Red Bull will have to keep both star-studded drivers happy but Horner has insisted that won’t be an issue, and that they’ll have no problem working in tandem with each other.

“I think both parties are very realistic,” he told Motorsport.com. “I think he knows the quality of Max.

“He’s a seasoned racer now. He has a huge amount of experience and I think he knows what he’s going up against in the quality of Max.
