“So far, it looks like. I don’t know if the one-stop was pꦬossible. Som🌼ething we have to look at and review,” he said. “Other than that, just happy with the whole team. They’ve done a tremendous job. We deserved a lot more today. I think the stewards were very poor today in my opinion. 

“But to💮 me we’ve seen a lot worse. We touched tyre🥂 to tyre, Lando cut the corner and gained time, and I still had the penalty.”

Perez defended his move on Norris: “You’ve got to remember when you dive from behind, when you go onto the brakes late, you’re not in full control of the car. Lando knew I was there. He decided to turn in. We made contact tyre🐭-to-tyre like I said. He cut the corner, he gained tiﷺme. I just feel in my honest opinion it was just a racing incident.”
