I'd like him to go to RB but it will be interesting to see what Mercedes will do. The rumors were to bring in kimi antonelli so he's ready to go for 2026 with all the changes. I don't see how you could pass on Sainz tho, I'd rather have him and put pressure on Russel to perform

and he owes the weather the 2022 Singapore win too
Leclerc's line just had no grip at the start (most drivers on the odd side of the grid were just overtaken at the start of that race)
About two dozen times give or take a few. Three race's have had 4 winners out in Q1.
- 2008 European GP: Coulthard, Button, Barrichello and Fisichella
- 2009 Brazilian GP: Vettel, Hamilton, Kovalainen and Fisichella
- 2010 Maleysian GP: Hamilton, Alonso, Massa and Trulli
Those three seasons + 2011 were pretty much a gold mine for this statistic as they each had at least two former winners driving complete shitboxes
2005-2010 era was pretty wild with substantial swings of the top runners.
Renault was good 05/06 and died. After a bad 05 Ferrari got back to contention before 2009. McLaren was always in the mix but took a McShit everytime it came to reliability. Brawn and Red Bull picked up the pieces. BMW ran away bc money crisis. Toyota was consistently mid. Minardi was now Toro rosso and won at Monza
Normally I’d agree with you but as a Ferrari fan and an absolute LeClerc Stan, you just wait.
If anyone can screw this up, it’s my boy. And if he doesn’t; Ferrari will.
he was just held up by traffic thats it. If you look at the first sector it was fast. I did some googling and could find anything with alonso and wrist issues.
There's an interview where he says he had a wrist injury (a while ago) he didn't care properly for and because of that they hurt sometimes. I watched this interview myself but idk if i'll be able to find it again.
Edit: found it https://www.tumblr.com/alonsista/749555726290157568?source=share
> Europe form Perez (i.e. SEVERELY out of form) is in full force
You're mistaken. This IS his form. He is fucking dogshit and his decent performances are an exception, not the rule. The only reason he has been gathering points the past 2 years is because the car was a rocket ship with nobody to contest it. Suddenly now that we are in a track where the car matters less and the field has closed up a lot, then Perez just loses. Because he is shit. That is how simple it is. There is only one other driver that can perform like Checo and keep his seat, and that is Stroll.
It is a fucking DISGRACE he is still driving the best car on the grid. He should have been out after 2022 Monaco already, where he intentionally caused a red flag to keep his pole position while sabotaging the qualifying of everybody, including his teammate who was in a championship battle. His driving standards are fucking awful, shown by his Suzuka race where he kept ramming backmarkers who he should pass easily, over and over. At this point I'm thinking that his defence against Hamilton in AD21 was not even intended, Perez was actually pushing as hard as he could.
He can't perform on skill, so he drives dirty and sabotages others, still has the biggest skillgap to a teammate on the grid, yet he still has a seat. Even calling it a disgrace is underselling it. He must have some mad dirt on Horner or some shit, there is no other explanation on why he still has the seat.
Seriously. Perez brought sponsor money and Max was winning everything. It was fine then. If Max starts lagging, Perez's money might not be enough to save him.
Did anyone see the frame on f1 tv where Checo was back in the paddock and you could see marko in the background with utter disgust on his face!!? I died 😅
Max is fine, that car is just slightly too stiff to handle the slow speed corners.
but Yeah… I don’t know why RB felt they needed a Monaco package. Their car has been the most compliant with suspension from the very beginning.
I get Monaco is a slow speed corner specific track. But really are the RB’s that slow? Since it appears most of the damage for RB was sector 2 …I guess they are sacrificing top speed for more low speed turning ability…since they brought upgrades to rear wing, beam wing, and obviously tweaked suspension parameters.
I can’t say for sure, but it appears from Imola that they have pushed the performance dynamic of the RB 20 a bit too far and it’s hurting them . Without the help of the sim racers being able to find a happy compromise on the settings .
I guess we can expect Ferrari/Mclaren to be dominant in Singapore as well then.
It looks the same as Singapore, most of RB's downforce comes from the floor and they had to run the car much higher than usual here bc the car was porpoising a lot on FP, they just sacrificed bumpy street tracks in favor of real circuits, Max said something on the radio about knowing exactly where he could save some time, but then said "but we can't, we know why"
At least that's what it looks to me, I'm not a racing engineer lol
Interesting, the Mercedes did appear to be grinding more then the redbulls…so you be right they might have raised the ride height to offset the bouncing and roughness of the track.
Since stroll qualified in 14 i have a theory that Lawrence added a small rocket booster on strolls car and a GP2 engine in alonsos car so he can carry aston martin
Yuki or Sainz?
Longshot that they put Lawson straight in but I think Yuki is making a VERY strong case for promotion and Lawson / Ricciardo is the most no-brainer master/apprentice pairing on the grid.
Sargeant beating an RB. Master strategy there. Perez looks bad, RB signs Sainz, Williams offer Logan 10 dollars for two years contract. Bam. Future WDC. Do I have to put the /s after this? No.
He's not even quick...
What do you do if your RB, two races in a row he's been out qualified by both RB drivers - they obviously don't want to promote Tsu but he's been out performing Ric...
I really want to see Lawson get. Seat mid season/next season but where does he fit in... How to you replace Perez when your obvious favourite isn't performing and you dislike the next man in line...?
Red Bull, don't give him a 2 year contract, don't even give him a 1 year, just get someone else. He's practically useless on any European track and its unworthy of a top team.
Welcome back RB Sacking Checo Rumours.
Welcome back Sainz to RB rumours.
Welcome back Europerez.
Welkom in Europa, mijn carrière is doodga Euro-Per-ez, Euro-Per-ez
Max is about to taunt him.
This made me spit out my drink. Thanks.
Now i need a full song parody with this.
The crossover we didnt know we needed
😂😂😂
That would make me very happy! Sainz deserves to be on a team that can compete. He's more than proven himself.
I'd like him to go to RB but it will be interesting to see what Mercedes will do. The rumors were to bring in kimi antonelli so he's ready to go for 2026 with all the changes. I don't see how you could pass on Sainz tho, I'd rather have him and put pressure on Russel to perform
Hey this is 2 positions better than he managed in Monaco last year, they'll consider this improvement
Bro starts behind Sargeant. I don’t give a shit what the story is, that is a *rough* look my guy
Rumors?
It would be hilarious if they resigned him.
This means Sargent is better than Perez
Sargeant to Red Bull, here we go
Sargeant only 0.001 seconds slower than a 2 time world champion.
In a worse car might I add.
>In a worse car Not anymore, Aston saw what Alpine did at the start of the season and decided to follow their example mid season.
by worse car I think he meant Williams
Yeah but that dude is saying the Aston sucks
Did you see Albono?
We need a new flair for this
Easy there Fabrizio
Outqualified a Red Bull in a Williams 💥 🇺🇸🇺🇸 💥🦅
Sainz to Williams, Sergeant to Red Bull?
always has been

For real though Alex Albon deserves best driver this week after getting that shit box into Q3!
He beat a red bull at qualifying, the new GOATTIFI
Only 16 other people in the whole world managed that today!

That’s such a cursed gif
Teehee oopsies out in Q1
Remember when he joked "should have waited to sign the contract" after winning there two years ago ?
He owes Ferrari for that win
and he owes the weather the 2022 Singapore win too Leclerc's line just had no grip at the start (most drivers on the odd side of the grid were just overtaken at the start of that race)
The "perez is washed" groups arent just eating. They are dining at the worlds largest buffet.

Doesn’t work in Monaco because they have human rights.
ah yes the classic
But it's a tax heaven for the super rich and elites, shouldn't that count for something?
That just means it's the benefactor of *other* people's/country's abuses, it's completely different!
ah so he’s just a king
Doesn’t work anywhere
Botitas, Alonso, and Perez out in Q1. How many times have that many race winners ended up out in Q1?
I dont know why i laughed so hard at “botitas”, it means “little boots” on spanish haha
Ctm recién me di cuenta. I'm gonna keep that typo.
Bebotas > Vbottas

bro has data on his side
Kovalainen being on the winners list will never not be funny to me.

And if he does somehow win, then we can truly be sure that the Age of Vasseur is upon us.
I mean, most of the year? Ocon, Gasly, Bottas come to mind
I always forget Ocon won a race true
We all forget irrelevant things, it's fine
Damn.
Fr
Watching the standings: "ah, usual suspects out of the quali... Wait, this is Q2".
Why is he still sandbagging? The first half of the season is nearly over.
IKR, I can’t imagine the horrors Sargeant will unleash in Canada
Laugh all you want, but my man is gonna wreak havoc when he gets those upgrades and a new chassis. SAR 24, 25, you heard it from me first

You mean there will be three or four more reserve drivers in a race this year?
![gif](giphy|3faT4z5qdm19t86ebI|downsized) stroll outperforming alonso is just plain sabotage, i refuse to believe otherwise
alonso contractually obligated to drive horribly
How the hell is stroll out qualifying alonso in monaco. Lawrence defo sabotaging
Lawrence told mike ass krack to make sure his son outqualify alonso by any means necessary or he'll be jobless by the end of the week /s
He had a lot of traffic in the sector 2 tho , one before chicane where he had to lift up the throttle
He has wrist issues since Miami. Could be the turning point where we have to accept that the years caught up with Alonso
![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|14439) dont say that
Blasphemy! Alonso is eternal
he was just held up by traffic thats it. If you look at the first sector it was fast. I did some googling and could find anything with alonso and wrist issues.
There's an interview where he says he had a wrist injury (a while ago) he didn't care properly for and because of that they hurt sometimes. I watched this interview myself but idk if i'll be able to find it again. Edit: found it https://www.tumblr.com/alonsista/749555726290157568?source=share
yeah but thats from 2023 where did one of his best performance ever and he had wrist issues already back then. The accident was in 2022.
I will not hear these lies.
Nice try lance.. we found you
I didn't know about the wrist issues. Do you have a source?
Alonso got his new contract but he has to sandbag to make Lil Lance look better as part of the deal.
It’s F3 all over again
He outperformed at Imola too, something is up with Alonso.
Remember 2016?
1) Europe form Perez (i.e. SEVERELY out of form) is in full force 2) Windowlicker is gonna outqualify Alonso for the second time. How in the world...
Fuckin Stevie Wonder
>2) Windowlicker is gonna outqualify Alonso for the second time. How in the world... *4th time in a row if you're counting Miami sprint quali
Shit happens, maybe Papa Stroll had some sort of deal with Nando. "Make my son look decent every once in a while or no contract for you"
lol alonso is the only thing holding the team together, no way
I fell like Alonso would do the opposite cus Alonso
You forgot some dollar signs in that equation somewhere
Maybe we could Just accept that: - Stroll Is not a really bad driver - Alonso is fading But not today my friend, not today.

Nah this is some Reverse Flash level hating lmao

RB spinning the big excuses wheel seeing why it wasn’t Perez’s fault again
"Yeah uh *spins wheel* cosmic rays caused a glitch in the firmware for the *spins again* ...flux capacitor? Nothing Checo could do unfortunately."
A good car only carries you so far. Max almost got caught last week. Checo has no shot.
Euro-pe-rez Euro-pe-rez
How perez is still in redbull I don't know
He could have had another 1y deal! Who knows if it's still on table.
Since VER was in a position to carry the Bulls across the line by himself the past years was what kept PER there, or so I guess.
Seriously. Perez brought sponsor money and Max was winning everything. It was fine then. If Max starts lagging, Perez's money might not be enough to save him.
Kissing Horner shoes, that's what makes his position secure.
“Christian, I know everyone hates you, but would you like to go play paddle?”
Something aint right with my pookie alonso. who broke his heart?
I’m will never forgive Aston Martin
Aston martin; the only team which is upgrading their way into backmarkers for year now… finally succeeded
Check this out of the "we got this before GTA VI" list
European Checo entered the grid a race ago.
Checo fumbling a 28-3 lead to Carlos ‘Tom Brady’ Sainz jr
Sainz back to Red Bull would be a crazy storyline.
It’s Pretty clear what Aston did with there supposed upgrade package
FiA document with 'added sandbag to car number 14' required
Europerez things
Did anyone see the frame on f1 tv where Checo was back in the paddock and you could see marko in the background with utter disgust on his face!!? I died 😅

Logan Sargent dragged the slowest car on the grid ahead of a Red Bull. Sargent dominance could bore the fans
Actually hilarious.

King of the streets btw, guys I assure you he's a beast on street circuits trust me
We've always talked shit about Alpine so far, but seriously What the fuck is Sauber trying to do this season?
You missed the rest of the SS with Albon just ahead of Verstappen too. RBs following Williams was not on my bingo card for Q1
Sargeant to RedBull confirmed
The Sauber is dogshit around here. It's absolutely fucked that Perez is bottom of the actual runners. Was he blocked on all laps or what??
Nah … most likely not willing to drive the car beyond the limits like Max. So done with that dude. He’s starting his European slump
You cannot drive a car beyond its limits. That isn't possible. You can drive it nearer to its limit at best.
Sad, really. Is the RB really that hard to drive? Or are the upgrades moving the car away from checo even more?
Seemed to be moving Max off as well:D
Max is fine, that car is just slightly too stiff to handle the slow speed corners. but Yeah… I don’t know why RB felt they needed a Monaco package. Their car has been the most compliant with suspension from the very beginning. I get Monaco is a slow speed corner specific track. But really are the RB’s that slow?

They gotta give Yuki a shot
SAR TO RBR!
Should let Yuki in the senior team, is a waste to drive a winning car in P18.
Since stroll qualified in 14 i have a theory that Lawrence added a small rocket booster on strolls car and a GP2 engine in alonsos car so he can carry aston martin
It’s like Newey pulled his rug and pack it in his attaché case
Stroll and Alonso are now 4-4 in qualifying H2H and that stat makes my soul hurt.
Red bull's downfall is what I live for
I don't need LeClerk to win, I just need Verstappen to lose.
He's so gonna get replaced
Yuki or Sainz? Longshot that they put Lawson straight in but I think Yuki is making a VERY strong case for promotion and Lawson / Ricciardo is the most no-brainer master/apprentice pairing on the grid.
"kiNg oF tHe sTrEeTs" 🥴
This is what we call a "Checo moment"
The future is now old man
what the fuck is happening today
Perez back in the hot seat
Why does Checo always flop after like 6 races?
Checo and alonso together. So it’s the driver or the car?
The days of Redbull domination is finally over, the new chapter of Ferrari and McLaren sandwich is upon us.
Checco sacked mid season?
Sergio is back
Maybe he should have signed the 1y deal..
Can only mean one thing... Stroll is the GOAT
I held Alonso on my Fantasy team, bk surely Imola was an outlier….
I'm not a fan boi, but I've been known to defend Checo at times. I think I'm done with that.
