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.
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
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.
Lando: "It's the Max podcast"
Max: "I don''t even like podcasts!"
Norris on Perez taking Logan out: "Iiiiinteresting"
Carlos is radio gold
βDonβt use my old tricks against me!β XDDDD
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
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".
Fucking hell Perez. That's not how you keep your seat.
Itβs so bizarre not having both RBs on the podium at the race that they win WCC
Perez DNF?
Edit: yes, heβs out
Perez coming back in to serve his penalties? Or he could pick up some more on the way :P
Yup.
He knows he'll be so dominant in the final few races that he couldn't be bothered to finish this one. /s
Lol Checo
Torpedo Perez showing his worst driving. Heβs 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.
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.
βLetβs get Qatar penalties sorted todayβ¦β XDDD
Sargeant penalised for new car after Q1 crash https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.official-grid-who-starts-where-in-japan-as-sargeant-is-penalised-for-new-car.X4qn5ydpjjHBscTrUrMwn.html
the damage to his Williams was such that the team have had to build up what the stewards consider a new car for him. [...] it means the American rookie not only has to start from the pit lane, but also receives a 10-second time penalty.
But Will Buxton on pre-race stream said that Williams got penalized for starting work on his car too early?
EDIT: He did tweet this out: https://x.com/wbuxtonofficial/status/1705774169374257291 (Nitter link) so maybe I misheard or something.
Either way, hopefully Sargeant's done in F1 after this race. He's basically the reincarnation of Nicolas Latifi.
Wow. More than a few DNFs today.
Edit: Williams out, plus Stroll, PΓ©rez, Bottas.
What a move by Charles
Max back with a rawwr
Verstappen thinking if he should have sushi or okonomiyaki for dinner XDDD
Perez is having a terrible day, beating a dead horse that is
A bit of a wheel banging start... SC already...
The return of the king
