Is Perez a genuine title contender?
Sergio Perez made it two wins in as many days in Baku last weekend, with the Mexican taking victory in both Saturday’s Sprint and Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen had led the early stages of the Grand Prix, but Perez leapfrogged his teammate in the pits after the Safety Car was deployed to allow for Nyck de Vries’ stricken AlphaTauri to be cleared.
