Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have given their feedback about their Red Bull car ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

And discussing the Mexican ace following the talks, Verstappen explained: “At the end of the day we are team-mates and we always try to give our feedback to the car, and that’s also what Checo has been doing. So he’s been always fully contributing to that.

“But of course we cannot deny that the last few weeks have been a bit difficult. I would say also some were a bit unlucky. In qualifying for example in Silverstone, that off then cost you your qualifying. You start in the back, and especially in a race like that, it’s very difficult to progress.”

“I think also he wants to do better, but I know that he’s working very hard. It’s not that he takes it for granted or whatever. Hopefully here, when the car suits his driving a bit more, everything feels connected, it can work a bit better for him.”
