Max Verstappen is Red Bull's clear choice to win the 2023 title, but he is up just six points on his teammate after Perez won today.
Sergio Perez is not employed by Red Bull to win championships. He is there to help Verstappen from second when possible, as he did through all of 2021, and to win the races lead driver Max Verstappen does not, as he did in today's Grand Prix of Azerbaijan. With the 2023 Red Bull looking unbeatable through its first four races, all of that makes what is setting up this season a little bit awkward.
Now, championship standings in the first handful of races of a season are rarely a perfect barometer of how a season will end. Just last year, Charles Leclerc left Australia with a commanding 46-point lead; he would go on to finish 146 point behind Max Verstappen. Red Bull has plenty of time to ensure Verstappen wins the next few races and create some separation on Sergio Perez.
