Perez felt lucky his Red Bull F1 car 'didn't blow up' after hitting the wall hard on his way to victory in the AzerbaijanGP.
And after controlling the restart the Mexican put in a composed drive on the Baku City Circuit, never coming under sustained pressure from Verstappen.
"The way Max pushed me throughout the race was really hard but we managed to keep him under control."Perez became the first repeat winner in Azerbaijan and after also winning Saturday's sprint he has closed the gap to Verstappen to six points, putting him more firmly in the hunt after four of 23 races.
