However, its success had a key person. Verstappen acknowledged that Sergio “Checo” Pérez has a large percentage in his personal achievement.

“ Czech has played a key role for us, especially in the second half of the year , he has been a phenomenal servant of the team in supporting his teammate ”, he declared.
Sergio Pérez finished in fourth place in the drivers’ championship . The Mexican achieved a victory in the season and a total of five podiums. Ahead of “Checo” were only V altteri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Max Verstappen.
