Reunited Max Verstappen & Sergio Perez Bury the Ghosts of the Past To Face Resurgent Lewis Hamilton

The 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix saw one of the darkest moments in Red Bull’s history. As the world watched the horror unfold live, the higher-ups at Red Bull couldn’t do anything but watch it, together. However, it is all past now as the Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez united again to spearhead the Red Bull attack in 2023 against Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes. Verstappen, who took the first step of the conflict back in Brazil, has recently opened up on it and shared that it is all past now and they are ready to overcome “those things.”

As per CNN, Verstappen told, “I think we are professional enough to overcome those things. We are all full of adrenaline after a race.” The Dutch lion went on, “That is, we compete, and the pilots… Sometimes emotions, yes, they rise, but that is normal.”

Verstappen, who dominated the 2022 season, now has only one aim in this season. He would want everything but another team struggle as he’s got to defend his championship this year. “We want to keep on winning. So anything less than that, of course, is a disappointment,” told Verstappen.

Max Verstappen considers Lewis Hamilton a threat in 2023

The 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will always be a race to remember for Max Verstappen. Not just because he went on to win his first-ever championship, but also because he beat the statistically greatest driver in the sport in the process.

As the 2023 season looms large after a pale Hamilton year in 2022, there is an anticipation that Lewis Hamilton might be back in the title hunt, yet again. And Max Verstappen knows it. The 25-year-old revealed his thoughts on this off late during Red Bull’s livery launch in New York.

The Dutchman believes that his toxic rival can become a title threat in 2023. Verstappen told Sky Sports, “Of course, he is. You know he’s been one of the greatest drivers in the sport. So, it’s sure if he has the car to do it, he can fight for the title again.”
