"I feel like I can play more with the car more on street circuits to make a difference"
After joining Red Bull in 2021 Checo has managed to lift his career to another level becoming a championship contender and being on par with fellow teammate Max Verstappen this season. Excluding the Bahrain Grand Prix all the races Checo won were street races the most recent being the Miami Grand Prix. Although he was looked down on as a mid-field driver by many, he now finds himself on the podium every race weekend enjoying the win or second place with Red Bull. The streets and Checo go along as if they speak to him even without qualifying P1 he manages to find himself on the podium spraying champagne and sharing his victory with the team.
He's consistent on track and isn’t shying away from a little in-team rivalry between him and Max, fighting each weekend to get their Red Bull ahead of the other. Checo has been in the sport for 12 years and a title win this season might be the cherry on top for him.
