Perez was awarded the official ‘Driver of the Day’ award after recovering to finish third followi♑ng 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 ℱbeen named driver of the ꩵday - something he quickly questioned.

No🦩rris said: “He got driver of the day? What the hell.”

The interviewer rep𒀰lied: "You need to work harder..."

Norris quipped: "I need a quicker car!"

It was a great day for Nor꧋ris, who secured back-to-back podiums for the first time in his F1 career.

The 23-year-old admitted he thought Perez would get hꦉim after he was told about the Mexican’s rapid pace after 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, 'hm🐽m, OK. Game over',” he said. “Then I had traffic and 🌺it made my life tough. 

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

“But at the end of the race the tyres came bac🔯k 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 heꦆad I knew Perez is in a👍 Red Bull and you see Max pulling away.

“A lot of it is tyre degradatio💛n. 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.”
