Hamilton wa🎶s eventually hit with a five-second time penalty for the offences but protested over t🐼eam radio that his Mercedes “wouldn’t turn”. 

Norris managed to ov𓆉ertake Hamilton on his ▨way to a strong fifth as he demonstrated promising pace in his upgraded McLaren. 

Speaking to Sky F1 after the race, Norris suggested that Hamilton got off ligh♕tly with his punishm𝓀ent. 

“Yeah, I wa꧃s going to do a live commentary at every corner, pretty much,” Norris laughed. 

Norris added: “He [Hamilton] only got a five-second pen💦alty?

“It should be way more! He had about four strikes ♓in one lap!”

The race - and weekend - was dominated by track l⭕imits, with several drivers picking up penalties in the race.

Aston ဣMartin have 🌺protested the result after taking issue with the way in which the stewards applied the rules. 

Norris, who was one of the few drivers who did not fall foul൩ of track limits, admitted he has some sဣympathy for his rivals. 

“People on the outside, they complain, they don’t understand how difficult it is to stay within the track limits,” he explꦬained. 

“Yes, I guess you can say I did and ‘Why can’t anyo♛ne else do it?’ but it depends on what position you’re in.

“If Fernando was behind me the last 5/10 laps, I can assure you that I’d have done track limi📖ts𓂃 at least once and then I probably would have got a penalty.

“It just depend🙈s if you’re under pressure. When you’re under pressure, you’re pushing a little bit more, you have a little bit more of a slide.

“But that’s just like a human error, but it’s also lik♛e that’s racing at the end of the day.

“It feels tough for some of the t💝hings that you feel like you shouldn’t be penaไlised for but, when it’s a rule, then it’s also a rule for everyone. So I guess that I didn’t.

“If you struggle, then you’ve just got🎐 to slow down. But you never want to do that when you’re a driver. So yeah, it’s complicated. It’s just not as easy as what it looks like on the outside.

“I can assure everyone of that so I don’t have sympathy fo🎀r the people that did ge💮t it, in a way, but I also don’t!”
