Sergio Perez secured a career-best P2 in the Drivers\u2019 World Championship in 2023. But in one of the most dominant Formula 1 cars in history, Checo spent much of the year stuck in the shadow of his unstoppable teammate Max Verstappen.\n
\nDespite one of Sergio\u2019s most mentally challenging seasons, in which he faced serious questions about his future at Red Bull Racing, the Mexican is in fighting spirits for 2024.\n
\nChatting to Tom Clarkson during pre-season testing, Perez talks about where it all went wrong last year, why it\u2019s so difficult to beat Max, how he switched off during the off-season, what he\u2019s changing in his approach for the new campaign, and much more.\n
\nPlus, hear how Checo Jr could be following in Sergio\u2019s footsteps - and which F1 driver he\u2019d want to be stuck in a lift with!
