Sergio Perez opens up about battling with his teammate.
Perez believes that he has almost been forgotten in Formula 1 because of people expecting him to do well. There was a time when Perez was tipped to be the next big thing but it seems that he has now been replaced by the next generation of drivers.
"It's like people just get used to me," Perez told Autosport.
"When I was new here, everyone was talking about me and I was the next big thing, as Esteban is right now.
"Last year [2017] I was best of the rest, I've been beating all my team-mates I've had. So results in the end talk more than what people say."

"I think results are clear," Perez said. "He was the better one in qualifying, although the margin was extremely small.
"It is less than a tenth between us in qualifying. And I was the better one in the races. I got the most points and also the best results."
Perez has shown that he is more than capable but needs to step up to that next level if he is to start getting more podiums.
