RBR sending Perez out again is some passive-aggressiveness at this point.
Farcical. That rule will change. And Perez is done. He cannot have that seat next year with this form.
Maybe this will get lawson a seat somewhere, with someone getting promoted from Alpha Tauri? I really hope so, lawson really deserves a seat.
I wonder if we can vote for Perez as the clown of the day.
Who else would be up for that? I can’t think of anyone else who’d get remotely close.
Logan? I think checo takes the crown today for sure
What is even goin on with Perez today. Clumsy start resulting in early pit stop to drop to back of grid. Picking more penalties on the way. Retired. And now comes back and retires again after one lap.
Yea, what an absolutely shocking clusterfuck.
Checo is quick, and when he’s on he’s on, but these lows are not the right look.
Reminds me of Bottas’ last phase at Merc, where he also went from leading the championship at the start of the year to appearing absolutely unfit for F1 at the end.
Please! Keep mics away from Marko… :P
It’s his Mexican blood!
Wew what’s Perez up to today. Gonna pick up penalties like Infinity Stones.
Dude feels the pressure so much that he’s driving himself out of a RB seat.
Ah, the Bottas special
Norris on Perez taking Logan out: “Iiiiinteresting”
Lando: “It’s the Max podcast”
Max: “I don’'t even like podcasts!”The honeymoon at Aston is over
“Think of something!”
Brutal. Alonso is gonna explode soon.
I heard this would be a 2-stopper; Logan getting them out of the way early so he can spend the remaining laps hunting down Max. /s
He needs to be banned just for being a reincarnated Latifi
The destructors champion.
Hahaha! He’s a moving threat
This was the problem with bringing F1 to the US. Americans drive like it’s fucking NASCAR. Imagine if that seat had Lawson in it instead.
🤣
Carlos is radio gold
“Don’t use my old tricks against me!” XDDDD
What the hell? How can be unretiring a car to serve a penalty, then retire it again be in the rules?
Because there is no definition of “retiring” in the rulebook. Which should have been on their radar years ago, you see it regularly how cars pull into the pits and the official tracking keeps showing them as “in the race” and not “retired”.
They did a pitstop and served the 5 seconds and then retired the car. This is why he was out there for 2 laps
If it is not banned…
I just did a cursory search on the FIA’s 2023 Sporting Regulations, and I couldn’t find anything about the procedures through which drivers serve penalties, so…
It was 25 the last time they counted
Fucking hell Perez. That’s not how you keep your seat.
It’s so bizarre not having both RBs on the podium at the race that they win WCC
Yeap, but Perez helped secure the WCC by taking out Logan /s
Wait it was Magnussen that he took out right?
Perez DNF?
Edit: yes, he’s out
Yup.
Perez coming back in to serve his penalties? Or he could pick up some more on the way :P
He knows he’ll be so dominant in the final few races that he couldn’t be bothered to finish this one. /s
And DNF again.
Ngl…that’s a high IQ move by Red Bull
I kinda doubt it’ll work out the way they want, the other teams definitely will have words. And if it works out that will be a change in regulations.
If it requires a change in regs, won’t matter because the strategy will have worked when used.
“Let’s get Qatar penalties sorted today…” XDDD
Lol Checo
Torpedo Perez showing his worst driving. He’s having awful races lately
Agreed with Jolyon. That was brutal. Not sure I agree with the FIA.
The just showed a clip of the actual infringement - into the pits, overtaking Alonso.
Yeah I thought it was elsewhere on the track, but I caught that. Yeah…Pérez needs to just retire today and get ready for Qatar.
