“There is no clause in my contract that says I am not allowed to fight Max,” Perez told RacingNews365. “The team has already shown that both sides of the garage get full support. And the more confidence the team gets and the more often Red Bull sees that we are both doing well, the more confidence we will get on both sides of the garage,” he added.
“At the moment we are working very well together and we still have a long way to go. So I just need to focus, improve myself and then we’ll see how far we can get,” Perez continued.
I am quite impressed with Max: Sergio Perez

“Everyone knows how good and complete Verstappen is these days. He has a lot of experience at the team; you can tell he has been here for a long time. Max focuses on the right things and in terms of the car we also share a lot of information with each other,” he added.
“We push each other and apart from the car he is also very relaxed. We have a very good relationship. You also saw that in Baku, when he came to the podium after the race, when he should have won the race. It just goes to show how close this team is,” Perez continued.
