Jos Verstappen has sparked a further feud with the father of Sergio Perez after the latter’s claims about Red Bull’s car.<\/p>\n
Perez served as Max Verstappen’s team-mate between 2021 and 2024, helping Red Bull to two constructors’ championships but was dropped following a poor ’24 campaign in which he scored just 48 points in the final 18 races.<\/p>\n
The Mexican’s contract was paid up and he departed for a sabbatical year in 2025, and will return to the grid in 2026 with Cadillac.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, his father Antonio has maintained that “if Checo had had the same car [as Verstappen], he would now be the world champion.”<\/p>\n
This has drawn a response from Jos Verstappen on social media.<\/p>\n
“What an idiot that guy is,” he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He’s always been given the same material, but just needs to step on the gas.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jos Verstappen has sparked a further feud with the father of Sergio Perez after the latter’s claims about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[3007,1687,3010,3008,3011,3009,831,372,6537,832,3006,3005,3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-116852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-f1","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
