Honey, I shrunk Max Verstappen!

Has Sergio Perez finally succeeded in turning the tables on Max Verstappen?

Ahead of his home race, it looks like Checo, tuckered out by his Red Bull teammate’s unshakable supremacy, has resorted to some evil Mexican devilry to shrink Max down to pocket-sized proportions.

The poor three-time world champion looks a little lost, standing at the foot of this towering behemoth, his eyes and mouth wide open and his arms dangling helplessly at his sides. It's like he's a tiny Gulliver in the land of the giants.

It's the ultimate revenge plot for Perez, or maybe just a little pre-race fun in the spirit of competition!
