Peꦐrez has endured a difficult time alongside Verstappen since joini𝔉ng Red Bull in 2021.

The Mexican has won just five races to Verstappen’s 35, with the Dutchman set to win a third straight ♓consecutive title.

It did look like Perez could pose a strong threat in F1 2023, winning two of the opening four races.

However, after Miami, Perez suffered a co꧑mplete loss of form, failing to reach Q3 on five consecutive occasions🐠.

Perez ended the first part of the season🧔 respectively with a distant P2 - his first since May.

“It's very difficult of course to have Max as a teammate,” he told Viaplay.

“I don't think we should take anything away from the talent t𓂃hat he is and how hard he works, how he delivers and how focusse🐼d he is.

"He is just a great driver, but it's great to have him as a𝕴 teammate.

“Because he pushes you to the maximum and it creates a lot of pressure and stress. It's not easy to cope with🐼 that, a guy that is always delivering the 100% out𝓰 of the car. 

“That is something unique to h♚ave and something I learned a lot from myself. Yeah, I've had a great time.”

Perez was then asked if Verstappen is the most difficult teammate on the grid, he replied: “Yeah, I think so. If you are not strong enough mentally, it would be difficult for anyonဣe to cope with that.”
