Lawson was making an attempt to defend from Perez early within the race and was pushed large at Flip 4, rejoining on the within of Flip 5 to attempt to battle again. The pair had mild contact because the battle continued for 2 extra corners earlier than Lawson remained forward, with each drivers buying and selling insults on workforce radio and the RB driver gesturing at Perez when he overtook him once more later within the race.
“I don’t have any relationship with him,” Perez mentioned. “I believe the way in which he has come to Method 1, I don’t assume he has the best perspective for it. He must be a bit extra humble, you realize. When a two-time world champion [Fernando Alonso] was saying issues final weekend, he fully ignored him.
“If you come to Method 1, you’re clearly very hungry and so forth, however you need to be respectful off-track and on-track. I don’t assume he’s displaying the best perspective to indicate an excellent tempo for himself, as a result of I believe he’s an amazing driver and I hope for him that he can step again and be taught from it.”
With the stewards investigating their run-in however not taking any additional motion, Perez claims Lawson additionally isn’t getting the best message about his strategy to racing.
“It was trying good. We had been already as much as P10. I had a maneuver into Flip 4, after which he was outdoors the observe and simply got here straight [back on], like if there was no automotive. I believe he may have prevented the incident however he simply went again. Fortunately I noticed him and I opened up room, in any other case it might have been a large crash.
“There was no want; we broken each of our races. I believe it was just a bit bit an excessive amount of, however I don’t assume it’s his fault. He’s not getting any penalties as nicely. He did the identical with Fernando, with Franco [Colapinto] ultimately. There aren’t any penalties or none of his fault as nicely.
“I believe he’s simply racing everybody uncontrolled in the intervening time.”
Colapinto was the driving force who acquired a penalty for his collision with Lawson, with the stewards deeming the Williams didn’t go away room on the surface of Flip 2. Nonetheless, Perez believes Pink Bull wants to talk to Lawson about his driving.
“I believe you see these children, clearly very hungry for it, they usually’re actually passionate and it’s nice to see,” he began. “They’ve nice expertise, however I’m simply speaking about Lawson on this regard — I believe in his two first grands prix he has had too many incidents and I believe there shall be a degree the place it might probably price him an excessive amount of, like he did this weekend.
“He has to have the best perspective to say, ‘Look, I’m overdoing it somewhat bit; I’ll step again and begin once more.’ It’s all the training you need to do as a teen, as a result of if you happen to don’t be taught out of your errors, Method 1 is a brutal world and he may not proceed.
“At present it price Pink Bull Racing loads of factors, so I believe they need to communicate to him.”
