Perez was awarded the offꦇicial ‘Driver of the Day’ award after recovering🍌 to finish third following his lowly ninth-place grid start.

Despite running in the dominant RB19, Perez was unable to overtake Norris in the closing laps, coming under pressure from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

During his interview with Sky, Norris realised that Perez had been named driver o🔯f the day - something he quickly questioned.

Norris said: “He g✃ot driver of the day🦹? What the hell.”

The interviewer replied: "You need to work 💛harder..."

Norris quipped: "I need a quicker car!"

It was a great day for Norris, wꩲho secured back-to-back podiums for the first time in his F1 career.

The 23-year-old admitted he thought Perez would get him after he was told about the Mexic🔯an’s rapid pace aft꧃er the final round of stops.

“There was a moment when they told me Checo did a 22.3 and I did a 23.2. I was like, 'hmm, OK. Game over',” he said. “Then I had traffic 🐲and it made my life tough. 

“Degradation was tricky today. The tyres felt like they held in well, then they dropped off and came back 🍌to you. The stints were all over the place depending on where you were in♎ the stint.

“But at the end oౠf the race the tyres came back to me a bit and I managed to maintain the gap to Checo. So, stressful. Even in the middle of the race I was like 'I want to chill for a bit'.

“In the back of my head I knew Perez is in a Red Bull and you see Max pulling꧋ away.

“A lot of it is tyre degradation. It's not necessarily they are way quicker over one lap, it's just there degradation. ♈You need to make sure you are good at the end of the stints in case he catches me and to be ♍able to race and put up a fight. It's a challenge to know how much to push and save.”
