Checo Perez continued his impressive start to the 2023 Formula 1 season as he took victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon.

The Mexican driver started the race in P3 but a safety car came at a fortunate time which meant, having already overtaken Charles Leclerc on track for P2, he was also able to get ahead of his Red Bull teammate, Max Verstappen.

Sergio Perez has assured that, although it might not seem it, he has a good relationship with Max Verstappen and that there is a lot of respect between the Red Bull F1 teammates.

Perez has requested that his team allow him to compete for the Formula 1 championship as opposed to playing second fiddle to Verstappen, however the Dutchman will not accept anything but winning.

Sergio Perez's dream of being world champion in Formula 1 remains alive and intact.

This year, once again, his top rival is on his own team, as Verstappen is the big favorite to claim the crown for the third consecutive year.

However, the time may have come for the Mexican to stake his own personal claim and make things difficult for his partner.

If Red Bull lets them compete on an equal footing, his dream could come true, but it doesn't seem easy at all.

These are the reasons for Checo to 'rebel' against the Dutchman and compete to achieve his own goals.
