Sergio Perez doesn't think there is any less pressure on his shoulders heading into the Canadian Grand Prix despite Red Bull chief Christian Horner claiming Max Verstappen's win in Spain may lower his expectations.
Perez suffered a major blow in his pursuit of becoming a world champion as he finished fourth at the Spanish Grand Prix, behind Mercedes duo George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, as well as team-mate Verstappen. It moved the Dutch driver a mighty 53 points ahead at the top of the Drivers' Championships.
The Mexican driver remains second, 18 points ahead of third-place Fernando Alonso. Although there are still 14 races to go, Verstappen looks set to claim his third successive world title. Speaking ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix on Thursday, Horner believes the pressure may be off Perez.
