Perez names McLaren problem
Sergio Perez was on a cooling lap at the Spa-Francorchamps track, and the Mexican had to let past the McLaren coming from behind into the famous Eau Rouge corner. After Norris flew by, Perez quickly called his team, saying: "There's a lot of grounding for Norris into Eau Rouge."
McLaren are proving to be Red Bull's biggest rivals at the moment, especially after a one-two finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Moreover, Max Verstappen will start the race in Belgium with a ten-place grid penalty.

He wasn't reporting it to the team,if he wanted to do that,he could have done after the session in the debrief......this was to bring it to the FIA's attention....because we need someone running to the principal every 5 mi utes in this sport,to show the level of maturity we deal with here.
Maybe he was just overjoyed to be close enough to Norris to see it that he couldn't resist calling it out.
So was the Merc, but that's fine, they will fail floor / skid block inspection if this happens in the race
