Just one point separated them after the first two races, with both winning one apiece and finishing runner-up in the other. The fastest lap point secured in Saudi Arabia meant the defending champion was the man with the slender advantage heading into the Australian Grand Prix.

Fittipaldi is backing Perez to close the gap again next time out in Azerbaijan. He has a penchant for performing well on street circuits and the Brazilian double champion thinks he will have the edge over Verstappen in Baku as a result.
