Lando Norris delivers blow to Checo Perez, dismantling a controversial Verstappen and Red Bull theory
The theory that Red Bull designs its cars with one of its drivers in mind has been around and debated over the years.
Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon struggled to adapt when they joined the team, and now Checo Perez is struggling to be consistent.

Max Verstappen is known for wanting a “pointy” front end that leads to an unstable rear, something that many drivers, such as Checo Perez, are not so comfortable with.
In the 2023 standings, the difference between the two drivers of the team is 177 points, and the current champion can seal a new title this weekend in Qatar, while the Mexican continues to recover from his bad run.
The distance between the two is remarkable. So, it’s not the first time that it has been suggested that Red Bull have built its car specifically around Verstappen.
