Hamilton moved to the side when he realized Perez was behind him, but the Red Bull was furious about the incident, launching a brutal rant over team radio.

“What the f*** is this idiot doing?” Perez said to his engineer.

Hamilton did not believe there was an issue, however, responding calmly to his team and stating that he was ‘well out of his way’.

Despite this, Perez remained furious as he entered the garage between sessions.

“Yeah but we ******* waste a set so please, for worse than that I’ve been penalized so I don’t expect any less,” Perez added.

The FIA later gave Hamilton a three-place grid penalty as a result of the incident.

The Mercedes star went on to finish Sunday's race P8, whilst Perez finished two places higher in P6.
