The words of Sergio Perez

Sergio Perez spoke after his victory in Baku: “Safety Car? Everything worked well for us today. We passed Charles Leclerc quickly and put pressure on Max Verstappen. We had less degradation than him in the first stint. It had set up well for us right from the start from that point of view. After the Safety Car it was another race on hard tires.”

The Mexican beat the world champion: “We were very close, we both pushed hard and we both touched the walls a couple of times. The way Max put pressure on me throughout the race made life difficult for me, but we managed to keep it under control. Touching the wall? I got lucky, the right front held up.”
