If the pattern holds, Sergio Perez will be the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix winner.

Red Bull's Perez and Max Verstappen have traded wins early on in the 2023 Formula 1 season, with Verstappen taking wins in Bahrain and Australia and Perez taking the win in Saudi Arabia. 

While Red Bull has been the class of the grid so far this year, the battle for second has filled the entertainment gap quite well. Aston Martin is off to a quick start, with Fernando Alonso threatening a few podiums in his first year in the cockpit for the organization.

Mercedes, though, is just nine points out of second place, which will make for a very intriguing battle as races restart in a few weeks' time.
