LONDON :Formula One wants fans to be passionate but they must also respect race winners, Mexican Sergio Perez said after McLaren's Lando Norris faced boos on the podium in Mexico and Brazil in recent weeks.

Perez, who has been on the F1 podium 39 times in his career and has one of the most loyal and passionate followings of any driver, is making his return with the new Cadillac team next season.

Norris is leading the championship from teammate Oscar Piastri but has drawn boos among the cheers from some spectators as he celebrated winning the last two races, moving 24 points clear at the top.
