Hamilton wasn’t investigated for the overtake despite looking like h🍷e completed the overtake, by braking late, outside the white lines.

“𝔉To me it was clear t💧hat Lewis just [braked] really late and went off the circuit and gained an advantage,” Perez said. 

“Something that w🀅e’ve got to understand going forward.”

Perez was handed a five-second penalty after the race for ൲contact with Alex Al𝓀bon.

The penalty had no impact ꧅oꦕn his race result, remaining in eighth.

"With the Alex in𒀰cident, there was nothing there,” Perez added. It was just a racing incident.

“I🗹t was quite difꦜficult, quite tricky. Not a nice day for us.

“I think𓃲 this is circuit dependant and we should be a loౠt stronger when we are in Japan hopefully.”
