Sergio Perez of Red Bull Racing RB20 had an impressive performance at the Japanese Grand Prix in Formula 1. Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner praised Perez’s skills on the track, noting that he didn’t seem like a family man with the daring moves he made during the race. Despite narrowly missing out on pole position, Perez secured a front row starting position for the first time in almost a year. He went on to finish in second place, contributing to another Red Bull 1-2 finish led by Max Verstappen.
