Verstappen laughs hard after Perez's Australian statement

Red Bull Racing looks relaxed for the time being during the Australian Grand Prix. The team is working hard behind the scenes to make things as difficult as possible for rival Ferrari, although Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez also have time for other things.

Formula 1 will be back in Australia this weekend for the first time in three years. The Austrian racing stable decided to pay extensive attention to this. For example, in the video below Verstappen instructed Perez to pronounce a sentence the Australian way, which caused a lot of laughter.

Perez did not disappoint during the first two free practices on Friday. The Mexican managed to set a third and fifth time, which he seems to want to build on in the coming days. His teammate Verstappen set the fourth and second time.

Perez enthusiastic about GP Las Vegas

Earlier in the day Perez already spoke very positively about the Las Vegas GP that is on the program next season. According to Perez, it is a good thing that the FIA has chosen to hold a third race in the United States.
