RBR sending Perez out again is some passive-aggressiveness at this point.
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.
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!"
Carlos is radio gold
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...
Fucking hell Perez. That's not how you keep your seat.
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.
Itโs so bizarre not having both RBs on the podium at the race that they win WCC
Lol Checo
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.
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.
Man what is Perez doing anymore
Wow. More than a few DNFs today.
Edit: Williams out, plus Stroll, Pรฉrez, Bottas.
What a move by Charles
Max back with a rawwr
A bit of a wheel banging start... SC already...
Perez +6 Laps? I don't think that's right... That was way more than 6 laps.
6 laps to stroll
Perez is having a terrible day, beating a dead horse that is
