In a Q&A with brand new teammates Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, the men answered the question of who they would most like to fight and beat next season, but not without joking about the question first.

In Red Bull Racing's Talking Bull podcast, Verstappen and Perez answered a series of questions. Asked “Who on the grid are looking forward to racing and beating the most this season?”, Verstappen couldn't help but joke. "This is like scoring in front an open goal", said the Dutchman. 

Who would it be?

Perez, however, answers more diplomatically: "I want to beat them all. Not one in particular."

Once again, Verstappen's personality shines through here, as he jokes in his characteristic sarcastic voice: “Well… There has always been one particular team that’s been finishing in front of us for the last two years, so… I think that’s the one we have to go for.”
