(Reuters) - Red Bull Formula One driver Sergio Perez said Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix was the hardest and longest race of his life after his car's water bottle failed and left him dehydrated in the Texas heat.

The Mexican finished third in a race won by Dutch team mate Max Verstappen at Austin's Circuit of the Americas, but he was clearly suffering after he got out of the car.
