Perez will benefit from not having the pressure of being in a close battle for the title with F1 team-mate Verstappen, says Horner. 'I think for him that'll give him a lot of confidence coming out of this.'
Perez won two of the four opening races of the 2023 season and, after his victory in the Azerbaijan GP, he was just six points behind Verstappen and touted as a potential title challenger.
Perez again had a scrappy qualifying in Spain that saw him start only 11th. He was able to recover to fourth place in the race. Horner says that with a title challenge currently looking less realistic a solid race in Barcelona will help Perez to relax.
