After the Safety Car period, ♛where both Red Bulls stayed out on their worn tyres, Hamilton overtook Perez into Turn 7.

The seven-time world champion ran slightly wide,💫 but kept the position ahead of Perez, who dropped down the order.

Hamilton wasn’t investigated for the overtake despite looking like he completed the overtake, by ♔braking late, ou🍸tside the white lines.

“To me it was clear that Lewis just [braked] really late and went off the circuit and gained an advantage,” Pereಌz said. 

“Something that we’ve got to understand going f𝄹orward.”

Perez was handed a five-second penalty after the rac✅e for contact with Alex Albon.

The penalty had no impact on his race res�𒆙�ult, remaining in eighth.

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

“It ဣwas quite d🌃ifficult, quite tricky. Not a nice day for us.

“I th💖ink this is circuit ღdependant and we should be a lot stronger when we are in Japan hopefully.”
