Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez will make a run at Max Verstappen’s points lead in the first of three races in the United States this year.
So now it’s a two-horse race. Or a two-Bull race. Whatever.
Sergio Pérez’s victory last weekend in Baku, Azerbaijan, was his second of the Formula 1 season, and it allowed him to match the victory total of his Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen. More important? The result allowed Pérez to close Verstappen’s lead in the drivers’ championship to a mere six points as the series arrived in the United States for Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix.
