“As I said, we are all aware of w🌳hat is going on within the team and we want to keep everything within the team.”

When pressed further, Perez🎐 added: “That rumour is wrong.”

“We have d🧸iscussed what happened in Sao Paulo internally and we have agreed for the benefit of the team that this should remain internal, what we discussed within the team,” he said. 

“It’s best so we don’t open any speculation, we move on and we are able to be the team we used to be, united and strong, and that is the priority of t𒊎he team, to put all of this behind us and just move forward.

“I ෴think we are both grown-ups, we will be able to put this behind us and we will look forward.”

"Obviously, F1, it’s a very emotional sport,” he ꦜexplained. “There is no other sport where you can speak yourself live. It’s only in F1 that this happens. 

"There is a lot of emotions going on in a lot of thi🥂ngs you say. I obviously regret a lot of things that I said ꦯafter the race because yeah I am back with Max in the relationship that we used to have. 

“We a🎀re both and the team 🍌and everyone ready to move forwards.”
