Verstappen embarrasses Perez, Ocon claims shock victory

The 2024 F1 race head-to-head results are a great representative of who dominated in each team this year, with Red Bull’s best-performing driver not coming as a shock. 

Max Verstappen had the most dominant head-to-head result, with Sergio Perez having finished behind the four-time world champion in all but one race. 

To add to Perez’s woes, the one race where he finished ahead of Verstappen was the Australian Grand Prix, where the Dutchman retired early in the event. 

No driver struggled as much alongside their team-mate as Perez did, with Nico Hulkenberg having the second-most dominant record of the season over Kevin Magnussen at Haas. 

Hulkenberg finished ahead of Magnussen in 16 out of 21 races – Oliver Bearman replaced Magnussen in two races, whilst both drivers retired in Monaco. 

At Mercedes, George Russell humiliated Lewis Hamilton, with the seven-time world champion having finished behind the 26-year-old on 15 occasions.

Perhaps the biggest surprise comes at Alpine, where it was Esteban Ocon who come out on top. The new Haas driver out-performed Gasly 13-10, in an unexpected result. 

Other superior drivers included Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso, who comfortably had the better of Oscar Piastri and Lance Stroll, respectively.
