Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are teammates in Red Bull in the 2024 Formula One World Championships, going head-to-head throughout the season.

The two drivers are teammates in Red Bull since 2021. While the Dutchman has been part of the team since 2016, Perez moved to the Austrian team in 2021 after previously driving for Sauber, McLaren, and Racing Points.

In their previous three seasons together, Verstappen always came out on top in head-to-head, as he won a World Drivers' Championship in each of the seasons, while the Mexican driver finished fourth, third, and second in those seasons.

In 2024, Perez will be attempting to finish ahead of his Dutch teammate at the end of the season for the first time since they are driving together in Red Bull, which may also result in winning a World Drivers' Championship since Red Bull looks like the fastest team this year.

2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Summary - Verstappen vs Perez:

The first race of the season was the Bahrain Grand Prix, which set the tone for this rivalry. Already in the qualifying, Verstappen managed to take the first pole position of the season, while the Mexican qualified fifth.

The three-time World Champion then backed his qualifying result in the race, starting the 2024 Formula One season with a very impressive win and the lead in the overall standings, but also in head-to-head over his teammate.

The Dutchman had a perfect Grand Prix weekend, taking the pole position in the qualifying and then leading every lap of the race to win it.

However, his teammate also put together a solid performance, and even though Perez finished 22 seconds behind the three-time World Champion, he helped to score the team's first one-two of the season, placing second and recording a podium.

2024 Australian Grand Prix Summary - Verstappen vs Perez:

After losing the first two head-to-head battles with his teammate, Perez closed up on Verstappen after the Australian Grand Prix, but it wasn't in a way he wanted to do it.

2024 Japanese Grand Prix Summary - Verstappen vs Perez:

The 2024 Japanese Grand Prix proved to be "back to normal" for Verstappen, who won the qualifying, and during the race, there also wasn't someone who looked like a possible candidate for the race win.

The Dutchman, therefore, added his third win of the season, once again finishing ahead of his teammate. However, Perez's race was also good, as he finished second, completing the team's third one-two of the season.

2024 Chinese Grand Prix Summary - Verstappen vs Perez:

The 2024 Chinese Grand Prix was the first Sprint weekend of the season, and it didn't start well for Red Bull. During the Sprint Shootout, the conditions changed ahead of SQ3, as it started raining, and neither of the Red Bull drivers profited from that.

As a result, Verstappen qualified only in P4 while Perez was in P6, but both drivers managed to recover well in the Sprint race. The three-time World Champion won the Sprint in China, while Perez joined him on the podium once again, finishing third.

Subsequently, they both brought great form into the qualifying, which was held on the same day, locking out the front row for their team with Verstappen first and the Mexican driver in P2.

In the race, it was once again another dominant performance from the Dutch driver, but this time around, it wasn't a one-two for Red Bull, as Perez couldn't get ahead of Norris, who finished second, with Perez finishing third.
