Lando Norris expressed his surprise at Sergio Perez hitting him in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, despite Norris giving him ample space. Norris had conceded the corner to Perez but was still struck by him, resulting in Perez receiving a five-second penalty and later criticizing the stewards. Norris had expected to be more competitive in the race and struggled in the slow-speed corners, causing him to push harder and wear out his tires quickly.

Regardless, Norris maintains a mentality of “first or nothing.”
