And now his Red Bull teammate is ready to take the same approach after they “tried to create too much drama” out of the climax to last season.
He said ahead of the Bahrain GP: “I really thought that they had the best season in Formula One and I feel like they probably missed out a bit in the story and the way they presented it.
“They tried to create too much drama, which was already had, the season had enough drama, you know?
“They probably have gone too far in this last season. I thought it was going to be the best season [to watch], but to be totally honest I haven’t finished it.”

When asked if he would sign to do another season with the show, he added: “It’s a lot of media! So if I can escape it and do less media then I will.
“To be honest I have done so much for them last year and this year I am definitely going to do as much.
“I think it’s a big deal all over the world. But I personally think it’s a great thing for the sport for new fans, but I think the people that really understand the sport can watch the races.”
Meanwhile, Perez, 32, says he is out to challenge Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton for the title after getting to grips with life at Red Bull.
