Rewind to Baku, and Sergio Perez was the faster Red Bull driver, with hopes of an F1 championship run. But that win actually ended Perez's hopes by being the catalyst for Max Verstappen's domination, explains Mark Hughes
After winning last week's Dutch Grand Prix Max Verstappen was asked why his advantage over Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez was so much bigger now than in the early part of the season. He'd found a different way to drive the car, he replied.
"I think I learned a lot from the race in Baku, how to do some things with the car, how to set it up. Of course, I didn't win that race in Baku but actually I really tried a lot of stuff and different tools in the car. At one point, I got into a good rhythm with what I found. But then I damaged my tyres a bit too much. But it was like 'OK, that's quite interesting for the next races'. And I basically implemented that and it has helped me on every track."
