the look on Perez face when he was told he could have led the WDC if he got the fastest lap!

Most race engineers are in their driver's corner...Checo's isn't.

G30M · 03-19-2023, 02:37 PM

super awkward in the room with the 3 of them

Checo asking Max about target pace in regard to FL...yikes

I didn't sense that. But I recall near fist fights (purse fights) in years past.

I think Ferrari is the biggest disappointment.
Sure they had some bad luck with the safetycar and pitstops, but it seems that in the 2nd half of the race the couln't really gain on Mercedes, making them for this race at least the 4th team.
And AMR seems to be the runner up team as they now also showed they can perform on fast tracks.

to be fair, RB told Max we're not concerned about fastest lap

Max reply: I am

so it was his initiative, RB didn't engineer this, they just "forgot" to tell Perez of his intentions ...

Only RBR can look sleazy in victory.

Max congratulates Alonso

zero eye contact with Perez

says NOTHING to Perez

Perez had to break the ice

that's how you be alpha

M5Rick · 03-19-2023, 02:41 PM

Man! another RB 1-2 and Max leads 44 to 43 from Checo oh well if it wasn't for Max's 15th place start Checo can count his lucky stars in this one.

Don't you know that MAX was the whole week sick with stomach flu ?

don't worry normal service will resume next week and results there-in will be foregone conclusions and no need to watch the race

just appreciating a fun race while the boss is away for the week

Disagree. Being an alpha does not require being an asshole. In fact, being an asshole weakens an alpha position. Especially when its on tape.

Speaking of tape, I will revisit it later. Thanks!

Thankfully Webber has had Perez' ear warning him... Multi21

AMR to ALO: We have a penalty.

Joachim · 03-19-2023, 03:09 PM

I'm increasingly annoyed by the nearly constant "rule" that at least one figure on the podium will be thrown down after hours or days later.

Alonso's lack of professionalism on the starting grid is one thing, but whether the helper touched the car 7 milliseconds before the end of the penalty period or not can be digitally evaluated during the race. It's no point to discuss, only of algebra.

Yes, I feel sorry for Fernando, with such a team you need no enemies.

It's a matter of discipline which can easily be taught to a human brain during the off-race times.

Sorry for the rant, but my heart needs a relief right now... and Alonso as well.
