Marko was forced to issue a statement last week apologising for an “offensive remark” when talking about Perez’s F1 performances.

Red Bull’s advisor made reference to Perez's country of origin - albeit incorrectly as Mexico isn’t in South America - as a reason for his inconsiꩲstent form.

He was quoted as saying on Red Bull-owned Servus TV: “Let’s remember that he is South American, and so he is not as focused as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel was.

“But racing is his forte, and he had a very🔯 good race. Overtaking three drivers, in George Russell and the Ferraris, was not easy.”

Ahead of this weekend’s Singapore Grand♏ Prix, Perez was ♓asked by Sky for his thoughts on Marko’s remarks.

“First of all, I know Helmut, I got an apology from him, a direct aꦡpology which to me was the most important one,” Perez said. “I know him and I know that he doesn’t mean it t꧙hat way as well. That to me is what matters. 

‘When you have🐲 a personal relationship with so🐷meone I think it’s a feeling that you’ve got to have and to me that’s the important one. 

“I think the most ꦫimportant [thing] is that we focus on this weekend and on the performance on track, and that obviously a personal apology to me is mo🐠re important than anything else.”

Perez confirmed there’s “no issues” wit𒆙h Marko and that he wants to move 🦹on by focusing on this weekend.

“Yeah, absolutely. There’s no issues,” he added.

“It was important that I got the co🐷mmunication from Helmut straightaway. As I say, we have a personal relationship and that was more important than anythin✅g else that publicly you could have to make.”
