Perez’s thoughts on Red Bull 1-2
“It was really intense! We fought in the middle of the race, then everything was under control, but then they started chasing us again with the stop and again it was a battle to warm up the tires.
“The most important thing today is not to make mistakes, because under these conditions it was so difficult to get 1-2 under these conditions. I think this is a great result for the team.
“We were so lucky in the beginning, it was so hard for us. I am very glad to see everyone in my team smiling today.
“This is the goal [wins] but today is a great day for the team, we still have to keep working, there are a few more things we need to improve to get closer to victory. But I’m very happy that Max got it today. “
