As has been a repeat theme throughout the 2023 Formula 1 season, one half of the Red Bull garage was enjoying the sweet taste of victory in Mexico, whilst the other side of the team were contemplating another afternoon without any points.
Christian Horner spoke pre-race of the importance of trying to secure a Red Bull one-two in the drivers' standings for this season, something the team has never been able to do, yet Perez tried to pull of an audacious move within the first few seconds of the race and it proved a costly mistake.
Charles Leclerc started the race on pole, yet he was left stunned by the pace of both Red Bull cars as soon as the lights went out in Mexico City.
