Sergio Perez shouldn’t expect any favours from Max Verstappen even if his career is dependent on him securing runner-up in the championship, that’s according to the F1 Nation podcast pundits.
Last season he wasn’t able to hold off Charles Leclerc in the fight for P2, finishing three points off the pace after Verstappen, who had already wrapped up the Drivers’ title, outright refused to help him at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix by giving him a position. “It very much depends if helping your team-mate means that you are going to keep winning, that’s fine,” he said.
“Or what is it to finish second for Checo? Does it mean a lot? I mean, because if it means a lot, then I would understand maybe Max will help. But it has to mean something special for the team and for Checo to finish second.
