Sergio Perez will be hoping to deny Max Verstappen a third successive win by clinching the
Australian Grand Prix title.
Most recent race
The Red Bull Racing driver challenged for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix title on 9 March and he finished second behind his teammate, Verstappen.
Perez started on the third grid just behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and he finished as the runners-up - collecting 18 points in the process.
Formula One title ambitions
The Mexican racing driver is placed second on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 36 points from two races.
Perez is 15 points behind leader Verstappen as the two Red Bull Racing drivers look to go head-to-head for this season's Formula One world title.
Why Perez could win the 2024 Australian MotoGP
Perez will be determined to put pressure on Verstappen and he can only do that by winning this weekend's Australian Grand Prix.
The 34-year-old won last season's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and Azerbaijan Grand Orix as he showed his ability to win races.
What did he say?
“The race was quite strong today because we were able to make the progress from Friday to the race," Perex said after the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
"But qualifying I think we just went a step backwards and that’s the main key from our weekend, to understand why we actually went slower than FP2.
"[It’s] something we’ve got to understand the reasons behind it, and make sure we are able to keep progressing.”
