Perez mentioned on interview that he didn't see Max and didn't mean to push him out. I think they were just clearing that up in that discussion and moving past the drama.
Perez is fucked forever now that he pushed Max on the grass. He's already shown to keep a grudge. There's many things you can accept as possibly out of their control like bad traction in a corner or brakes not turning on, but literally pushing your teammate on the grass? For a sprint victory? Does he think that'll improve his contract negotations at other teams, because I don't see how Red Bull will want to keep an underperformer who does this.

After pushing your teammate on the wet grass, you can't expect him to not do something in return.
They didn't really look angry tbh
They got away with it. Could have been much worse.
They sounded like they were ok after the race, but I suspect that once they see the replay Max is likely to be rather annoyed.
On the other hand - Max Pushed Perez really wide too, so both at fault for different bits.
Verstappen: What happened mate?
Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
Checo: No.
Checo: Turn 3 tho.
Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Seemed like a normal post-race discussion to me. Not heated at all.
Looked fairly calm imo.
