Alex Albon thinks Sergio Perez was performing no better than he had himself compared to Max Verstappen when the Mexican first joined Red Bull. F1
Alex Albon says Sergio Perez’s gap to Max in early 2021 was no smaller than hisAlex Albon reckons Sergio Perez’s gap to Max Verstappen in early 2021 was no smaller than his own when he had been at Red Bull.
Albon spent a year and a half with Red Bull as team-mates with Verstappen. But unable to match the Dutchman’s pace, or results, Red Bull dropped him in favour of signing Perez. The Mexican too could not match Verstappen’s performances, his only win of 2021 coming at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, a race where Verstappen was well on his way to winning when a tyre blew six laps from the end and put him into the wall.
Perez went on to add a further four podium finishes to his tally that season, two more than Albon achieved during his 26 races with the team.
