The RB20's dominant chassis doesn't negate Verstappen's fundamental race pace superiority. Perez historically struggles to convert pole positions against a charging Max, evident from last year's Miami GP where Verstappen, starting P9, decisively overtook Checo for the win. Max's long-run pace and tyre management delta remain unmatched. While Perez is a street circuit specialist, betting on an outright victory requires a Verstappen DNF or major penalty, not just a flawless Checo drive. 85% NO — invalid if Verstappen incurs a grid penalty before qualifying.
