Verstappen Uncommitted to Aiding Teammate Perez in Championship Race, Amid Speculation Over Red Bull Lineup Changes

Verstappen's refusal to confirm support for Perez, who is 20 points ahead of Mercedes driver Hamilton in the drivers' championship, raises questions about team strategy and Perez's potential replacement by Ricciardo amid poor performance.

Red Bull driver, Max Verstappen, remains uncommitted to assisting teammate Sergio Perez in securing second place in the drivers' championship. Verstappen's stance raises questions about Red Bull's team strategy amidst speculations about potential lineup changes.
Perez is currently 20 points ahead of Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton in the drivers' championship, and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner hopes for a one-two finish in the championship for the first time in the team's history.
Despite poor performance and crashing out at the Mexico grand prix, Perez receives full team support, underlining the desire for the team to achieve the historic one-two finish.
Speculations about Red Bull's lineup changes intensify as Daniel Ricciardo is heavily tipped to replace Perez following his successful comeback with AlphaTauri, despite Perez's contract extending through 2024.
Hamilton, who has not clinched victory since 2021, is hoping for a stronger season in 2024 and is already planning a winter programme to prepare for his bid for a record eighth world championship. Hamilton hopes to win the Brazil Grand Prix this weekend, following his second-place finish the previous year.
