Sergio Perez determined to beat Max Verstappen in 2024
Sergio Perez was a title contender at the beginning of the 2023 F1 season. However, his performance dipped after a few races, while his teammate, Max Verstappen, kept winning races consistently and clinched the world title. However, Checo is still very determined to win his maiden World Championship in 2024.
He claims that he is well aware of the challenge that Verstappen will pose to him. The Mexican is ready to use the off-season to kickstart the season on a high and maintain consistency throughout.
"That’s the main target for me," Perez said (via RaceFans.net). I’ve already finished second, my main interest is to do one better. I’m aware of the challenge that it is. We’ve got to really take this winter time to try to start the season on a high and be able to maintain that level of consistency throughout the season."
Perez ended the 2023 F1 season in second place in the drivers' championship with 285 points, while Verstappen topped the chart by scoring 575 points.
