" Formula 1: \u2018I\u2019m pretty much at my best\u2019 \u2013 Perez setting his sights on title challenge in 2023 \r\n\r\nSergio Perez believes he drove better than ever towards the end of the 2022 F1 season, form the Mexican is determined to carry through to 2023 and use to push for the championship.\r\n\r\nPerez joined Red Bull in 2021 \u2013 following spells at Sauber, McLaren and Force India\/Racing Point \u2013 and helped team mate Max Verstappen lift that year\u2019s drivers\u2019 title, before contributing to the 2022 constructors\u2019 crown.\r\n\r\nHowever, while Verstappen stormed to 15 race victories and made it back-to-back titles last season, Perez had to settle for just two wins (in Monaco and Singapore), with the Mexican ending up third in the standings, almost 150 points adrift.\r\n\r\nPerez noted an up-and-down relationship with the RB18 as he reflected on the campaign, though feels his performances over the final sequence of flyaways \u2013 which included a victory and three further podiums in six races \u2013 stand him in good stead.\r\n\r\nPerez triumphed in Monaco and under the lights in Singapore last season, taking his overall victory tally to four\r\n\r\n \u201cI\u2019m constantly working on it. I think it really depends on how comfortable I am at the start of the season with the car, as I was in the beginning of the season, then it slipped away,\u201d Perez said of his form throughout 2022.\r\n\r\n \u201cI think as Formula 1 drivers, we are constantly working for new challenges all the time. But I do feel, at this time, I\u2019m pretty much at my best. I really want to carry it on and start next year on a very high [level].\u201d \r\n\r\nPerez went on to stress that consistency will be key in 2023 as he looks to build on the flashes of speed he has shown at Red Bull and take the next step.\r\n\r\n \u201cCertainly, [2022] started really well. [We had] some reliability issues in the beginning, but things were looking on track. We were in the mix for the championship early on,\u201d the 32-year-old commented.\r\n\r\n \u201cI had a couple of bad races that really put me [out of] contention for the championship, so there is some work to do in that regard, together with the team. \r\n\r\n \u201c[We need to] make sure that we can keep that consistency throughout and that we can come back next year and fight for the title, if we were to have a similar level of car for next year.\u201d \r\n\r\n "
