Sergio Perez lacks the “consistency” to mount a sustained challenge for the 2023 world championship. “In the middle sector he didn’t stand a chance against Perez. It was only at the end when the settings were changed that he was happy with the car and also fast, but he couldn’t fight with him anymore. “But with a view to the world championship fight,” he said, “I don’t think he has the consistency of Verstappen. Verstappen doesn’t make those mistakes and so I think he’ll be the better driver throughout the year.”. “I have three children at home and I wouldn’t travel the world if I didn’t believe that I could become world champion,” the Mexican driver said.
