After t♌he 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 brak﷽🌄ing late, outside the white lines.

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

“Something that we’ve got to und♉erstand going forward.”

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

The pena𝓡lꩲty had no impact on his race result, remaining in eighth.

"With the Alex incident, therꦇe was nothing there,” Perez added. It was just a racing inciden༺t.

“It was quite difficult, quite tricky. Not a niꦅce day🐎 for us.

“I think this is circuit dependant and we should be 𒊎a lot stronger w✅hen we are in Japan hopefully.”
