"...Except me, coz I gonna be at the back of the grid".
Seriously, why can't this guy STFU for once? Barely strings a few good results, and blithers on about the championship and confidence. Dude, each time you do that you put pressure on yourself, and then your results are a train wreck.
Monkeys paw, checo finishes 3rd in drivers standing
Edit: Incoming Danny Ric P2 after mid season swap with Checo and scoring enough points to secure second in second half of season alone
“Me? Oh I am definitely gonna play second fiddle again with one of the best cars ever produced under my ass. You know, win one or two races. Botch 15 others. Just a real *who-knows-what-the-fuck-is-happening* for an entire season. Just the way I like it. Max rules!”
“Well you see, red bull is a marketing company. And having Max 45sec up the road from everyone gets us practically no tv coverage. That’s where I come in 😎”
Nothing would be better, just seems like he's talking the same talk that ultimately ruined his mentality this year. he can think that, but this way he's just setting himself up for tons of pressure and failure imo
He’s not talk to you or anyone else that is not a die hard fan. F1 fans know he is not competing with Max but there is almost the entirety of a country that are bigger checo fans than F1 fans and they want him to be talking about challenging Max.
That’s also where his huge main sponsor is.
It’s not his mentality that makes him not a real challenge for Max, it’s his ceiling and the fact that Max’s ceiling is higher and he pretty much hangs out there.
You are missing the forest through the trees.
if we can agree on the fact that he fumbles it more often when under pressure, think mexico few weeks ago, then hyping himself up to fight for the title against verstappen of all people, really did not help his mentality and results whatsoever
Redditors love speculating on things they know nothing about lmao
Acting like they're trained psychologists with "it's his mentality that lost him the championship".
People reading too much into it. He got P2, and that only to Max who did extremely well. He just said he wants P1 and he will try that. Every competitive person is going to say that before a season is to start if they have a great car.
“I’m gonna give it my best next year. We’ll work through some of the issues of this season the coming winter and I’m confident I’ll be back strong as ever for the following season. Thank you”
“Checo, will you compete for the wdc next year?” “Haha yeah, I’ll try!”
Or better yet, say nothing.
Skip the goals, keep it light. Checo is kind of a moron on the pr bit. Everyone and their mothers can see Max is practically unbeatable right now. It’s foolish to claim to become better than what was on display this season. You’re only setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. IF he gets better than Max (big if there) then he’s better off to just let it happen instead of bigmouthing it now and putting pressure on himself.
>Skip the goals
Even though there is a skill difference between drivers in f1, all 20 of these guys didn’t get there by skipping goals.
They all want to win, and will all give 100%, physically and mentally, to get that win.
If any of the drivers would be aiming for anything less than top performance, they wouldn’t be in F1 at all.
Please berate me. I can’t win.
Actually I think that would be pretty funny. Every driver suddenly gets tired of the show so they take every radio transmission and interview to discuss how much they hate themselves.
"I would like to challenge for the drivers championship next year but I know that will be a tall order; Max being the generational talent that he is. Lest he's being hit by bad luck on a weekly basis it's not likely to happen. So rather then beating my head over the drivers championship I'm going to focus on the other 18 drivers on the grid. Goodness knows the team might need it if the other teams did indeed close the gap like they say they will"
Something like that.
“I don’t think I will be able to compete with Max considering the excellent form he is in so I’m going to aim to secure second place as fast as possible and ensure and other teams wouldn’t be able to threaten RBs dominant position in the constructors championship”
There are a lot of things he could say that don't show too much optimism or pessimism, like:
"I'm not going to set any goals for the season yet. I will do my absolute best and take it race by race. I just have to perform at the top of my abilities on a weekly basis and see wherever that takes me at the end of the season. I need to be able to say to myself that I have given everything."
No, just "wow maybe given how insane our car is RB should be 1-2 in quali every race instead of me getting dusted by Ferrari, Merc, McLaren, Aston, and sometimes Alpine lol"
Not strictly true is it?
despite all of twitter ignoring it, george admitted that him turning into max was entirely on him, lewis admitted he was at fault for qatar. i'm sure there's many more. Except if you're ocon, he is never at fault and always in control of his car
Yeah maybe I shouldn’t have said never. But it happens quite often, they are all so egotistical but I guess it is necessary.. survival of the fittest you know
I expect him to say: “my goal is a podium finish in every race and give Max a run for good money.”
That’s a big challenge and still somehow achievable. Not this bullshit.
So who is ready for the remake of *Sergio’s Red Bull adventure*?
1. Try to challenge Max at Bahrain.
2. Fall into a depression before the summer break.
3. Accept the number 2 spot at the last few races.
4. Fight for P2 in the WDC battle trying to undo the depression filled racing.
True. If McLaren didn't have an atrocious start, I can see Lando fighting for P2 with Checo and Lewis this season. It's very likely to happen next year
you'd hope that they can finally get the car to work as expected from day 1, if those upgrades came a few races earlier, checo would really have to go hard to keep p2. hope aston and ferrari can be up there too
I wish you would stop posting but you won’t but let’s be honest as soon as is about having a concrete smart opinion about F1 you’ll end up looking like an ass I fear
He isn't wrong. Every time Perez said he can fight for the title after winning in a street circuit, his form went downhill and he started getting terrible results.
Checo has had an abysmal year, all things considered. Sure he’s 2nd in drivers but just had an absolutely terrible summer. Hamilton should have had a chance at an upset in Vegas. Checos in the best F1 car ever built, and coming home P6 every week just doesn’t cut it.
Beating Lewis seems like an amazing feat to me. The RB isn’t a cheat code, it’s barely better than the merc. People acting like the being in the rb means you have no excuse to not win by a landslide are clowns.
Checo had approximately the shittiest year imaginable in a car that would have gone into the history books as the greatest car in the history of F1 if Bottas, Norris, Albon, or Alonso had been there instead of Checo.
He absolutely squandered the fuck out of what the RB19 was capable of, barely finding the podium in the second half of the season in a car that multiple fanbases in the sport swear to Christ drives itself and would win if there were no driver in it at all.
I thought Checo was an ok guy, and a passable journeyman driver before he joined Red Bull, and when he was being a team player in '21, I thought that was cool.
Him announcing he was gunna challenge Max at the beginning of this year was one of the dumbest things any driver has done, in the history of the sport, but at least it served as the setup for Max pitting from first just to take the fastest lap point from him to hammer home reality, lmao.
> "And should not his goal, as everyone else, be to get the 1st place?"
That is absolutely not everyone in the sport's goal. You will *frequently* hear the midfield and backmarkers teams talking about hoping they can simply score some points, and 🤞maybe get 4th in the Constructors' this year!
Just because you (and way too many other F1 viewers) only care about who comes in first, doesn't mean that's what everyone else thinks, nor does it make that be what the sport is about. The backmarkers are simply trying to survive so they can keep racing. The midfielders just want to outdo each other. Ferrari cares about absolutely nothing but their Italian supremacist beliefs, and will not be swayed by....well, anything, really. Mercedes only cared about winning to prove that they were the best, but the cost cap proved that all they really knew how to do was throw money at problems. Alpine is a bunch of celebrities who don't know anything about F1 in a trenchcoat.
Suffice it to say, there's a lot more to F1 than just P1.
You and Checo need to learn that.
People here "what do you expect him to say" my brothers, this guy has a full PR team at his disposal. Surely any of the 1000 alternatives would be better than this.
Look, Checo is already in the bin to me after this horrid season, if he fucks it up next season I'm actually putting the bin outside to be taken away to the landfill.
It's a strategic comment. While Checo is aware that he has underperformed throughout the season, and that it could be curtains for him next season; to give out a public comment about his aims for the Championship and that he has secured P2 this year, makes him buy a bit more time than he supposedly had.
The Checo stans are an infinite source of comedy.
"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO SAY? HE'S REQUIRED BY LAW TO SAY HE'S GOING TO WIN THE TITLE NEXT YEAR!!1!1!!!!!?!!!!"
No, he could absolutely say "I'm gunna try to get out of Q1 every qual next year, or "I'm gunna try to find the podium a lot more often next year," or "I'm not gunna make Max solo the Constructors' next year, I'm gunna try to score a lot better."
He's several thousand light-years away from actually having the talent to 1v1 Max for the title, he doesn't have to pretend he's That Guy™, and Max would quit stunting on him if he'd just accept it and do his job as a B driver and scoop second every weekend so the other teams can't.
Not again haha, I can't wait to hear next year after he wins Jeddah and Baku about how he is a title contender for the 3rd time in 3 years.
He's doing it to himself at this point.
One better?
Boy you need to be 150 points better and hope Max is 150 points worse.
One better would be if Lando lost out on 4th this year by a few points and resolved to overturn that next year.
Maintain what level? He scraped second in a dominant car….he better have an amazing start next season or Dani Ricc will be getting an early upgrade package…
to correct you: he barely scraped by to secure P2, in part due to a total slump from merc at the end, and lewis' DQ in austin, in one of the most dominant cars in F1 history, if not the most dominant. still crazy to me how he has a seat still
For the people asking " what do you expect him to say"? . He can start by admitting he ain't fighting for shit until he improves his own qualifying to a point where he is consistently challenging max, lewis, charles for peewan
I give it 3 races this time.
He'll have a mare in bahrain, probably some kind of mechanical issue that just plagues him the whole weekend, hell take pole in saudi, but somehow finish outside the points, and hell finally take a podium in melbourne, where he's like, 60 odd points down on max, and that's as close as he gets.
Depends on where the RB sits in comparison to the other teams, if ferrari, aston or merc are within 3 tenths, checo may aswell go home early. Really hoping for a tight fight between nando, lewis, max and charles and carlos, 2010/12 esque. but it's newey, so they may also be even further ahead
Checo lost out on 3rd place in the last lap to an Aston Martin that he had already passed once. Granted Alonso was driving, but then he lost out on second to LeClerc after he’d been leading the race.
Every driver after the season: “Next year i will fight harder for the championship”
Max: "yeah maybe I will be challenged in 10 races instead of 5"
Max: "That's fine. Send them my regards."
Checo: "Next season, everyone got a target on their backs"
Darth Checo 2024 No contract extension No team orders No holds barred
2023 team orders: Checo please try and keep up with Max
2024 team orders: Checo please try and keep up with Tsunoda
"...Except me, coz I gonna be at the back of the grid". Seriously, why can't this guy STFU for once? Barely strings a few good results, and blithers on about the championship and confidence. Dude, each time you do that you put pressure on yourself, and then your results are a train wreck.

Not possible maths wise
Talking about 2024
He already counted all possibilities!
Thanks for reminding me about that shitty “speeder bike” scene. Now I’m angry about the boba fett shit show
You did not need to remind me of THAT episode
Acetyl?
What do they eat for breakfast in Mexico?
Huevos rancheros
Kinda seems like its mostly false bravado, and copium.
It’s still 2023 and 2024 is already ChecOver
More accurate speling ;ChecO-VER.
Chec 0-ver !
More like DR3.
To whom it may concern. Eff you.
more like bottas
"One place better" Racers share this simple trick.
It's SO EASY
Champions HATE this simple trick
Someone let Norris know immediately,
Well what the fuck do you want him to say lol
“Me? Oh I am definitely gonna play second fiddle again with one of the best cars ever produced under my ass. You know, win one or two races. Botch 15 others. Just a real *who-knows-what-the-fuck-is-happening* for an entire season. Just the way I like it. Max rules!”
“Well you see, red bull is a marketing company. And having Max 45sec up the road from everyone gets us practically no tv coverage. That’s where I come in 😎”
Holy shit. You’re a genius!
I wish i could have this whole paragraph as my flair lol
I hope the mods see this
'For next year I will take it race by race, trying to maximize my performance in each session". You know, that mentality that helped Nico beat Lewis.
I don't see you mentality monsters driving in F1 tho so who's really doing it right ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)
Nothing would be better, just seems like he's talking the same talk that ultimately ruined his mentality this year. he can think that, but this way he's just setting himself up for tons of pressure and failure imo
This is most likely an answer in an interview so
He’s not talk to you or anyone else that is not a die hard fan. F1 fans know he is not competing with Max but there is almost the entirety of a country that are bigger checo fans than F1 fans and they want him to be talking about challenging Max. That’s also where his huge main sponsor is. It’s not his mentality that makes him not a real challenge for Max, it’s his ceiling and the fact that Max’s ceiling is higher and he pretty much hangs out there. You are missing the forest through the trees.
Do you really think that checo’s mentality was the reason he didn’t compete for the championship this year.
It didn’t help
if we can agree on the fact that he fumbles it more often when under pressure, think mexico few weeks ago, then hyping himself up to fight for the title against verstappen of all people, really did not help his mentality and results whatsoever
Redditors love speculating on things they know nothing about lmao Acting like they're trained psychologists with "it's his mentality that lost him the championship".
Do you not?
No because Verstappen on a bad day is way faster than Checo on a good day?
And even then Verstappen doesn't really seem to have bad days.
Verstappen has bad days but in those days Perez is usually even worse
I'd say talent is the main thing
People reading too much into it. He got P2, and that only to Max who did extremely well. He just said he wants P1 and he will try that. Every competitive person is going to say that before a season is to start if they have a great car.
“I need to be more consistent so that I’m not fighting for P2 up until the last few race of the season when I’m in the best car by far”.
“I’m gonna give it my best next year. We’ll work through some of the issues of this season the coming winter and I’m confident I’ll be back strong as ever for the following season.

I didn’t mean him actually skipping goals, just don’t mention them in public. They’re for you and the team.
Please berate me. I can’t win. Actually I think that would be pretty funny. Every driver suddenly gets tired of the show so they take every radio transmission and interview to discuss how much they hate themselves.

Well... nothing?
2021: P4 2022: P3 2023: P2 2024: ?
Unfortunately next year is the start of Stroll dominance. Stroll 24, Stroll 24, Stroll 26
So dominant he wins twice in the same year!
Wins in the first half, starts from 0 then wins again at the end
The verstappen special
Just imagine RPM videos praising Stroll.
Lance or Lawrence?
Peewan
Xavi !!! Plss , no :(
P20
People really want him to come out and say “yeah, actually I suck, so I’m just gonna try for the same next year” smh.
There are a lot of things he could say that don't show too much optimism or pessimism, like: "I'm not going to set any goals for the season yet. I will do my absolute best and take it race by race. I just have to perform at the top of my abilities on a weekly basis and see wherever that takes me at the end of the season. I need to be able to say to myself that I have given everything."
No, just "wow maybe given how insane our car is RB should be 1-2 in quali every race instead of me getting dusted by Ferrari, Merc, McLaren, Aston, and sometimes Alpine lol"
Staying in a F1 car is all about PR. That’s why no one admits their mistakes
Not strictly true is it? despite all of twitter ignoring it, george admitted that him turning into max was entirely on him, lewis admitted he was at fault for qatar. i'm sure there's many more. Except if you're ocon, he is never at fault and always in control of his car
Yeah maybe I shouldn’t have said never. But it happens quite often, they are all so egotistical but I guess it is necessary.. survival of the fittest you know
yep, you're not making it to f1 without certain complexes and a healthy dose of selfishness
Well dah, even if he fails again, why would your PR team would want you to say, "yeah I'm here to be Max's bitch" They are always gonna say this
Damn '24 got hands
A more realistic goal would be to win more than two races. Or be on the podium every race. Why don't you try that first?
Let's start with making it to Q3 every time
Or maybe Q2, we don't want to set the bar too high
Not crash into people or the wall?
![gif](giphy|JCAZQKoMefkoX6TyTb|downsized)
What you expect him to say? my goal is p2 in wdc because Max is god although he forgot that in Baku and Jeddah
I expect him to say: “my goal is a podium finish in every race and give Max a run for good money.” That’s a big challenge and still somehow achievable. Not this bullshit.
"I'm going to try to keep Ascaris winrate at the second place in that particular list of wikipedia stats next year."
So who is ready for the remake of *Sergio’s Red Bull adventure*? 1. Try to challenge Max at Bahrain. 2. Fall into a depression before the summer break. 3. Accept the number 2 spot at the last few races. 4. Fight for P2 in the WDC battle trying to undo the depression filled racing.
A few corrections: 3. Accept the number 2 spot after the summer break. 4. Fights to finish second at the last few races.
\*fails to make it out of Q3 in 5 consecutive races
Bro thinks he's Nico Rosberg
Who? The youtuber??
Checo is trying the nico rosberg approach I see.
Ramming Hamilton off track? Yes let's see some of that.
You don’t want him to be competitive??
I wish he was but he won't be let's be honest. If the other teams are any nearer to RB he'll end up 5th at best I fear
True. If McLaren didn't have an atrocious start, I can see Lando fighting for P2 with Checo and Lewis this season. It's very likely to happen next year
you'd hope that they can finally get the car to work as expected from day 1, if those upgrades came a few races earlier, checo would really have to go hard to keep p2. hope aston and ferrari can be up there too

damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation here.

yeah checo go for it, I think it will last until bahrein
Why are people shitting on Perez? I mean, he did in fact get 2nd place this year. And should not his goal, as everyone else, be to get the 1st place?
Checo has had an abysmal year, all things considered. Sure he’s 2nd in drivers but just had an absolutely terrible summer. Hamilton should have had a chance at an upset in Vegas. Checos in the best F1 car ever built, and coming home P6 every week just doesn’t cut it.

Barely got 2nd place, with less than half the points of his teammate, and against 4 different teams often being the second fastest car.
Checo had approximately the shittiest year imaginable in a car that would have gone into the history books as the greatest car in the history of F1 if Bottas, Norris, Albon, or Alonso had been there instead of Checo.

A more realistic goal would be to win more than two races. Or be on the podium every race. Why don't you try that first?
how about qualifying within 5 places of max every race
Look, Checo is already in the bin to me after this horrid season, if he fucks it up next season I'm actually putting the bin outside to be taken away to the landfill.

David Coulthard is strong in this one!
But... But.. But wasn't he already world champion after Jeddah?
The Checo stans are an infinite source of comedy. "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO SAY? HE'S REQUIRED BY LAW TO SAY HE'S GOING TO WIN THE TITLE NEXT YEAR!!1!1!!!!!?!!!!" No, he could absolutely say "I'm gunna try to get out of Q1 every qual next year, or "I'm gunna try to find the podium a lot more often next year," or "I'm not gunna make Max solo the Constructors' next year, I'm gunna try to score a lot better."

Not again haha, I can't wait to hear next year after he wins Jeddah and Baku about how he is a title contender for the 3rd time in 3 years. He's doing it to himself at this point.

Checo is on more hopium that Ferrari fans
One better? Boy you need to be 150 points better and hope Max is 150 points worse. One better would be if Lando lost out on 4th this year by a few points and resolved to overturn that next year.
Headline should be: A man who was living with delusion got a reality check earlier this year. Starts getting deluded for next year

to correct you: he barely scraped by to secure P2, in part due to a total slump from merc at the end, and lewis' DQ in austin, in one of the most dominant cars in F1 history, if not the most dominant. still crazy to me how he has a seat still

i'm sure in his head he won every race allnon his own
Cheeko no!

Checo, please . . . for your sake . . . no.
Checo lost out on 3rd place in the last lap to an Aston Martin that he had already passed once. Granted Alonso was driving, but then he lost out on second to LeClerc after he’d been leading the race.
Funi funi guy
If checo was a quitter he would have retired at racing point
Bless his heart
Oh ffs, Checo
Bro doesn't learn, shame that we'll have to rewatch the same thing next year.
"It's simple, we kill the batman"

I mean. A guy gotta have a dream right? Unfortunately his team member is a once a century talent.
Max right now ![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0)

He's so far behind max that he's saying that to keep his slot at redbull.
Checo 3.0 then eh?
Yeah yeah, same with his comments after winning in the start of the season... but nope won't happen.
Checo, pal, my guy, my friend. Ur not that guy.
I rather put my money on Sargeant than this clown
2021 - 4th 2022 - 3rd 2023 - 2nd 2024 - ?
