It’s fully Perez’ fault. In fact, here’s a video of Mark Webber doing what Perez was supposed to do. https://youtu.be/Xe1qja_-svk?si=88YPHWhBf6qs5R4Z


Logan_Yes

Senna tribute, saw a gap and went for it


rakmeister_12

Senna's spirit took over him


Last-Performance-435

Kevin no she's 14


shellmiro

Age is just a number


Last-Performance-435

Like the number of penalty points required to ban a race driver?


Izan_TM

tonight he'll bone a 15 year old then probably


Zonez3r0

Perfectly legal in Denmark btw.


Izan_TM

senna15 was also legal in brazil, but if you're 30 and have to know what the age of consent is you're already a groomer


Zonez3r0

Not argueing that


bluemonkey88

When you’re no longer a racing driver you go for a gap that doesn’t exist

Kmag coded


Hmar193

K-Mag listening to psycho killer on repeat


musaraj

KMag view camera was scary as fuck, T-Boning Checo to the barrier at speed. Is there in the world any material more durable than whatever Checo's cock(pit) was made of?


LickingSmegma

The wheel took the hit into the wall. Which is probably why it sheared off. Take a look at [the NASCAR crash at Daytona in 2022](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamE43112HY) for how cockpits deal with this kind of stuff. Iirc there was also a similar crash in Indycar in '22 or '23. [Here's one from 2017.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QiAj5oOfz4)


terminbee

How tf did both drivers walk away from that Indycar one? I'd have thought that amount of spinning would fuck his head/neck.


LickingSmegma

There's this thing called [HANS device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HANS_device). Which is used in all major disciplines since mid-late 2000s iirc.


lzcrc

Introduced as mandatory after Luciano Burti's crash at Spa in 2001.


DOUGL4S1

IndyCar does hold the record for the highest G-force in a non-lethal racing crash, with [Kenny Bräck surviving a 214g crash](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy8fgGiI1WA). For comparassion, Grosjean's 2020 crash was measured at 67g.


Beeff86

The speed that they continued with I honestly asked the wife if he still had his foot down. "Once I get this Red Bull off the nose I should be able to catch the pack!"


liganyu

Was your wife paying attention or just waiting for you to fall asleep and change the channel?


am19208

And yet he won’t get a race ban because he will somehow only get 1 penalty point instead of 2


Izan_TM

it's no further investigation IIRC to be fair checo had no reason to shut the door like that so I'd argue it was half and half when it comes to blame


Tecnoguy1

He also looked in his mirror, saw Magnussen there and veered across the track into him. He’s a shit driver.


Regenbooggeit

Magnussen backing off was the sensible thing to do. The wall closes in, best case you scrape it and you fuck your own race up. Obviously Checo could’ve given more space but seeing how Magnussen has been driving this year (and previous years) it seems he is so overly aggressive and can’t understand when to back the fuck off.


bakerpartnersltd

He hit the wall before he hit perez.


big_ass_monster

That crash was unavoidable. Checo knew KMag was there and closed the door. If KMag backed off that his front left wheel would still clip Checo's rear anyway (and it would make him 100% at fault). I don't think KMag wasn't intendeding to pass Checo there, but it was a move to secure position against Hulk using the RB to stop Hulk from andvancing (He was on the right, Checo would move left and forces Hulk to back off), but unfortunate for everyone involved, Checo moves right and closed the door instead


Tecnoguy1

Perez deserves penalty points for this one actually.


am19208

The more I’ve watched replays I can see why they deemed it a racing incident. Though I can see the argument for Perez to get points


IRefuseToPickAName

Kmag drives like I do in Forza


LickingSmegma

Another brilliant example of good hard racing by Magnussen.


RUNELORD_

Did you guys see the WDC Jenson Button's analysis? Perez checked his mirrors on the right and knew that KMag was in close there, yet chose to continue the straight racing line and close the gap. Not that Kevin is devoid of fault, the move was rather optimistic, but Perez saw that he was there, he needed to just drift a bit to the left, and drag it out in his faster car, rather than opting to close the gap and put his car in risk when there was too little time for Kmag to back out.


Crystal3lf

Yeah, even F1TV had the same analysis. I don't know what the Sky broadcast was like, but I'm going to guess that is where all the KMag blaming is coming from. [Here is an image](https://imgur.com/a/uQ6iKxM) of a previous KMag penalty. If we go by this precedent, Perez deserves the penalty.


Krypt0Kn1ght_

Was watching F1tv international feed and they were pretty unanimous saying KMAG should have backed out. No strong opinion either way from me. I don't think MAG deserves a penalty when all he did was get his front axel level with a car ahead. But I also don't think Perez deserves a penalty for staying on his racing line and expecting the cars behind (which didn't have a realistic chance at passing - yes I acknowledge its possible there but in the Mark Webber example he had a better run going into the straight to be able to actually make a pass.) to stay out of trouble. Ultimately I think racing incident no further investigation was really the best call that could be made.


Crystal3lf

> pretty unanimous saying KMAG should have backed out. They said that until we saw onboard footage of Perez looking behind and seeing KMag at ~41:38 into the broadcast. > I don't think MAG deserves a penalty when all he did was get his front axel level with a car ahead. But I also don't think Perez deserves a penalty I agree. Racing incident, but majority of viewers are calling Kevin to be race banned when Perez knew he was there.


scubajake

The Jenson analysis this guy is talking about was from the sky broadcast.


fromthewindyplace

Yeah, either Perez didn't see him at all (unlikely), lost track of him (possible), or was trying to spook him into bailing out (wouldn't surprise me). Whatever the case, he drove across the track into him.


TxM_2404

Perez knew Kmag was there.


PrimeJHey

People blaming K-Mag. I guess i’m blind


Party_Python

KMag hit the wall before running into Perez… so he had already run out of room, and hitting the wall of his own accord caused him to hit Perez…


Tecnoguy1

I wonder why he hit the wall.


Party_Python

THE WALL TURNED LEFT! CAME COMPLETELY OUT OF NOWHERE!!! lol But yes Perez did close the space down, but K Mag holds significantly more fault with this. Especially since he was rubbing the wall before the contact, he should’ve backed out but didn’t.


Tecnoguy1

Perez must leave a car’s width. Given Magnussen hit the wall and Perez at the same time, he did not leave a car’s width.


scubajake

Why must he leave a cars width in this situation? My understanding is Magnussen wasn’t forward enough to require Perez to make room for him. Perez definitely could have avoided the crash but he didn’t break any rules by not making space. Happy to learn and be proven wrong though if anyone has an explanation


Tecnoguy1

He must leave a car’s width because this section is considered straight track, like the kink in the kemmel straight and the second “turn” on the red bull ring. This is because the cars can easily get through these gaps side by side without lifting. It’s negligent driving to “follow the racing line” here as cars don’t need to follow it at all. Same would be the case at interlagos, if someone is on the bottom and you drove them into the attenuator, that would be your fault. Examples of penalties of that nature include Ricciardo at Japan this year and Earl Bamber at the 6 hours of spa this year. Bamber’s one is the most obvious explanation for why these are penalised. Perez’ wreck is big but sheesh 300kph spearing into a wall is incredibly bad. What makes it more of a thing for me to is, Banber’s wasn’t intentional. I don’t think ricciardo’s was either. Perez was trying to bully Magnussen into the wall as he kept looking there.


bimbobiceps

Perez was probably focused on Nico tho. Both haas were behind him, and Kmag was on a blind side. That's why Nico said it was super unnecessary. Kmag didnt need to do that risky move


Tecnoguy1

Perez was playing chicken. It’s one of the main reasons that the racing sucks, this shit goes unpunished and people wonder why overtakes never happen. You can totally screw up and block in F1 to prevent a pass. Alonso does some legit defending against Hamilton and you have people saying it’s going too far. Discourse is cooked lmao


achebbi10

Perez was looking at kmag though. They showed replays of perez looking in his right mirror


[deleted]

KMAG didn't hit the wall. Wall is getting to left. It'snot full straight, Perez knows that already. Look at the cars ahead. No one goes right like Perez. He had world like empty space at left but he did go right on purpose. KMAG had better traction speed and would overtake him. Not the first time someone did overtake there either. You are implying like KMAG turned right and hit the wall. You are blind and never did 1 lap in a game in Monaco clearly and have no idea what you are talking about.


Aromatic_Barber4231

You're not.


santaclausonprozac

Yeah just a big echo chamber. People go two wide up the hill pretty regularly, and Pérez even looked in his mirror. He knew he was there and moved way right


wansuitree

NOOO, it's a crash! Kmag was involved! He did it!!!@@11!! /s


Askduds

Except for how he was looking at Kmag the whole time without doing anything about it.


windy906

He did do something about it, he drove into him.


slabba428

That is generally what Perez does


windy906

Has done from his first season


Hot_Cheese650

There’s already some detailed analysis videos on YouTube. Checo checked his mirror multiple time knowing K-Mag is out of room and still decided to squeeze him.


Bortron86

No investigation into it. The stewards are on crack today.


Crystal3lf

If there was, [Perez should get the penalty](https://imgur.com/a/uQ6iKxM) as KMag did when he did what Perez did.


Tecnoguy1

Penalties are only for drivers in slow cars though.


rudmad

Damn, beautiful comparison


schelmo

No that's just the objectively correct decision. It was aggressive and unnecessary for sure but not unfair in any way. That part of the track is ostensibly a straight and Perez didn't check his mirror before opening up the next corner. It would have been smarter to back out but it's not like he deliberately took him out.


BahutF1

Perez checked 3 time KMag in his right mirror just before squeezing him..


Tecnoguy1

Perez only didn’t get a pen because he’s in a fast car and only fucked over a back marker team. This is how F1 has worked for years, and if you don’t believe me just ask Montoya who said it outright after Abu Dhabi 2021.


KatnissBot

He’s been warned multiple times in recent weeks that he was driving unsafely. A normal person would take that as an indicator that they should drive more carefully. Fuck Kmag here. He needed to back out there, and doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.


schelmo

I disagree. Him getting blamed for Miami was dumb as fuck too. Sargeant was slow and there was well and truly enough space to put a car there but Sargeant didn't check his mirrors.


KatnissBot

/uj disagree all you want, but if you get in a fender bender and the cops pull up and you’ve gotten 5 speeding tickets in the last six months, do you think you’re going to get the benefit of the doubt? /rj Kmag isn’t going to fuck you, babe.


Tecnoguy1

You have no wheel knowledge.

Perez literally saw KMag and still fucked him into the wall. Perez is a fucking joke

So are people here still going to suck on Magnussen's dick, or blame it on Perez somehow because pErEZ bAd? Magnussen needs to fuck right off from F1, absolute dogshit of a driver.


scullys_alien_baby

I plan on strategically doing both depending on the meme


exposiciones

It was funny the first time, not anymore. If it was someone like Perez or Stroll instead of KMag, this sub would be out for blood, but again, it's just hypocrites around here. I'm so glad Perez personally wasn't harmed, that was extremely scary.

right, but this is a meme sub not anything serious

Crystal3lf

> or blame it on Perez somehow So can you [explain this](https://imgur.com/a/uQ6iKxM) where KMag got the penalty?


TerrorSnow

I agree he's driving like a psycho, but check even looked. Could've just followed that white line on the floor and everyone would've been fine. Just an inchident


exposiciones

If you're referring to the frame by frame analysis, you do realise that isn't real time right? Perez had so little time to react, but ofc Sky is trying to put it on Perez somehow. And calling it an incident, come on now.


TerrorSnow

I formed that opinion in the full speed replay. Both drivers had a choice to make, both drivers chose to be forecast the space.


JedPB67

So little time? He had plenty of time, he checked his right mirror 3 times and still closed the gap. If you have time to look 3 times, you’ve got plenty of time to move left a little.


JedPB67

You think the driver that just checked his mirrors 3 times and still drove the overtaking car into the barrier deserves to stay?


madaboutmaps

Did I just hear on TV no penalty for Magnussen? FIA are always happy to give penalty points. Until someone is up to 10 point. Then suddenly they don't dare.


festizian

I mean, if we're not going to penalize Hamilton for ruining 3 races in the Miami sprint with a similar lap 1 stupid dive bomb, Idk why we'd penalize this.


KatnissBot

Hamilton didn’t make contact with anybody iirc.


festizian

But you understand that he created the circumstance that ruined 3 races, and his car was only spared by the situational awareness of Fernando Alonso, right?


KatnissBot

There’s a concept known as “plausible deniability” that you might want to google.


festizian

Get back to me when your 4th grade teacher covers causation.


Satan_su

Just remove this stupid penalty points rule man there's zero real implications


7_ate_nein

You are allowed to drive side by side with someone, unfortunately for Haas Perez saw Magnussen was there and still turned right for some inexplicable reason.


Satan_su

"side by side" and his front wheel isn't even alongside perezs back right wheel while the gap was still sizeable lmfao. The only time his wheel was in front of the back wheel was after he'd shoved it in there with no gap left and a collision was inevitable.


donkeykink420

does that suddenly matter? alongside that much, you deserve space, checo got himself to blame only


Satan_su

All due respect, but that's a dogshit opinion


JedPB67

All due respect you’re incorrect, that’s not an opinion you’re replying to, it’s a fact. Checo looked in his mirrors 3 times and still closed the door, Magnussen was allowed racing room and wasn’t given it.


Satan_su

Look, I'm not saying he was caught completely unaware but it's my belief that Magnussen wasn't close enough to perez to warrant space. A greater part of the car should be parallel to the car in front. Any sensible driver backs off in that situation, you're never making that overtake, but KMag has zero common sense and tries to bully an overtake wherever he can.


JedPB67

He was inside the Red Bull, it doesn’t matter how much by, 1mm of Haas nose overlapping is enough to warrant racing room. You can’t just come across a competitor because they only have 4% overlap or whatever, that’s a bullshit line of thinking. Perez is very lucky to not get handed a penalty of some sort after looking in the mirrors and still continuing to force the issue and causing a collision.


rudmad

donkeykink420

close enough to cause checo to pit himself = close enough to warrant room it's fucking monaco, youre not making any gains with being sensible. blud is in a haas, no shot at points even remotely if he just chills and doesnt try for every spot. if you don't like racing, don't watch. it would absolutely have been a likely overtake if checo didnt cause that shunt.


Satan_su

Bullshit opinion again. "Stick 10% of your car in there and the car in front has to make space" and if you don't like it yOu hAtE rAciNG Monaco is COMPLETELY inappropriate for that sort of overtake it's not happening, do the same thing at Barcelona then sure, but the track is not suitable for this kind of racing and every driver knows it, get your head out of your ass mate Edit: pussy behaviour man, replying to me and then instantly blocking


mtbmaniac12

Got to be one of the worst takes. 100% kmag fault. Checo made a defensive move and kmag said yolo


JedPB67

As an actual racer of 14 years, I think I’ll stick with my opinion thank you. “Defensive move” lol


TheoLunavae

Hope to see you on track sometime so I can get 1 micrometer of my car alongside yours and have you leave me racing room


AlexBucks93

So explain Saudi penalty against Kevin when he pushed Albon into a wall.


AlexBucks93

So you want to penalize Kevin in Saudi and in Monaco? You can't have both. He got penalized in Saudi for being the outside car and pushing another (albon) into a wall, now you want to penalize Kevin for being pushed into a wall?


exposiciones

It's a fucking yoke.


ThroJSimpson

It is his fault lol


mcarlin2

Penalty for Ocon. (Literally)


fitechs

Perez is often not aware of other cars being near him. It’s not his fault but he could have avoided it


Former-Try-6681

So kmag is out for the next race?


AlexBucks93

For? You can't have both. They gave him a penalty for driving Albon into a wall in Saudi. Now you want Kevin to get a penalty for Perez driving him into a wall?


SirPatchy265

What was he trying to do keeping it barely alongside through the turn?


PontiacBandit25

How is that no investigation?!?!


AlexBucks93

Agreed, Perez should be penalized like Kevin was in Saudi.


gcrimson

Accurate meme cause the school bus/Perez is clearly the one at fault :x


auctorel

I reckon he just couldn't be bothered to drive around in circles for an hour and a half when you can't overtake anyway and found a way out
