TL;DR Summary

Red Bull teammates Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez's rivalry came to the fore during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with Verstappen snatching the fastest lap from Pérez on the final lap. The incident highlights the underlying tension that belies any notion F1 is a "team sport," and why even a single bonus point for the fastest lap is something teammates are willing to fight over. Red Bull's biggest headache this year could be its own dominance, as it could lead to a Verstappen-Pérez title fight, requiring management to keep things civil and stop anything from spilling over as it did in Brazil last year.
