Sergio Perez will be eager to secure another podium spot at the
2023 Dutch Grand Prix after enjoying a successful race in Belgium.
Most recent race
The Mexican racing driver challenged for the Belgian Grand Prix title on July 30 and he finished second having started second on the grid.
Perez was able to maintain his position throughout the race and he finished as the runners-up collecting 18 important points in the process.
Formula One title ambitions
The former Force India driver remains second on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 189 points with 10 races left.
Perez is now 125 points behind leader Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT as the battle for the championship continues.
Why Perez could win the 2023 Dutch MotoGP
Perez knows he cannot afford to drop points as he looks to put pressure on Verstappen and he can only do that by winning this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix.
The 33-year-old won this season's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and Azerbaijan Grand Orix as he showed his ability to win races.
What did he say?
"We were too aggressive with the car setup, not having any practice. So it was important just to make sure we brought the car home," Perez said after the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix.
"Especially on that second stint, he pulled a massive gap and then I went off into Turn 11 and then the gap got bigger. We have this summer break to make sure we got on we've got on top of things.
"Hopefully, we are able to find some bits that can bring us [back] to the form we have earlier in the season."
