“Absolute animal “
— Jorge (@JorgeLuis77mx) March 28, 2022
Some fans pointed out that the clip has been taken out of context. Perez was answering a previous question when he ended up calling Max his pet.
No sé si se estaba refiriendo a Max como animal jajaja más bien me parece que quien hizo la pregunta se llama Max e hizo un chiste como diciendo que quién escribió la pregunta fue Max Verstappen

Whatever be the case the clip does get a good laugh out of people. It also shows the dynamic that the 2 enjoy as teammates.
