In a curious twist, the Grand Prix of Canada returns from its pandemic break as interest in the sport in both Canada and its southern neighbour is booming
Ferrari has at times looked like the strongest team, with Monaco’s Charles Leclerc winning two of the first three races and six of eight pole positions, but he’s been a DNF in the last two rounds with mechanical failures. That has allowed Red Bull to win the last five races, including one from Perez.
That success even led into a spot of controversy last month at the Spanish Grand Prix, where Perez twice was told to let his teammate pass him as the Red Bulls and Ferraris dueled at the front. Verstappen ultimately took the win. “We had a little issue in Barcelona where we could have done a better job with the strategies, but at the end of the day, it’s the same ,” he says. “We both want to do as good a job as possible.” The results in Monaco, two races ago, would seem to confirm that, with Perez taking top spot on the podium and Verstappen in second place.Article content
“I think being in Formula 1, it’s a big thing already, but it’s also great being with a top team,” Perez says. “Enjoying some successes is what you are here for, you know, what I’ve worked for all these years. So, I’m very happy to be at Red Bull.”Article content
