Red Bull Formula One boss Christian Horner hailed Sergio Pérez's best Friday practice performance in months and revealed it came after a kitchen meeting to discuss the Mexican's poor run of results.
Perez was fourth fastest in second practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix in a car with fewer upgrades than teammate Max Verstappen's.
Triple world champion Verstappen was second fastest to McLaren's Lando Norris.
Horner said it had been a positive day and revealed details of a meeting with Pérez, who has scored just 15 points in the past six races and whose future at the champions has been questioned.
"We have a really open relationship, and I sat down with him in the kitchen of my house and said, 'Come on, what's going on? Is there something else?'" Horner told Sky Sports.
"And he was like, 'No, I think I'm just overthinking things a bit too much.'
"I think almost ignoring what's going on on the other side of the garage will do him a favour, which is the approach that he's taking now -- just focusing on his own performance."
Pérez felt he had made a good step from the first to second session.
