Marko Explains Why Red Bull Prefer Perez Over Gasly
While Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is leading the world championship, his teammate Sergio Perez is still in the process of getting to know the car which is crucial when it comes to extracting the best lap times out of it. Perez has now highlighted the issues he is facing and team advisor Helmut Marko has complimented Perez for his approach while also taking a jab at former Red Bull driver and current AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzaTjN53MCEMhXeU-t4AaABCQ 0:00 - Marko Compliments Perez While Calling Out Gasly 1:31 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Marko Compliments Perez While Calling Out Gasly Perez began by pointing out the crux of his problems as quoted by Motorsport “It's because of small variables that I still don't feel completely at home in the car. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel” “What are small variables? Driving with different compounds, different wings and in different weather, things you can adapt to very easily if you know the car very well” He also argued that he isn’t the only driver in this predicament “I'm not the only one who struggles in a different car. I haven't suddenly forgotten how to drive either. It just takes me a bit longer than I would like, unfortunately” Marko, in conversation with Auto Motor und Sport meanwhile, praised Perez for his approach while taking a subtle shot at Pierre Gasly who was once a Red Bull driver but was infamously axed after the first twelve races of 2019 “This World Championship will be decided by the second driver of the team. Pérez is constantly improving. He does not want to reinvent the car like Gasly. Instead Checo, looks at Max, analyzes his laps and recognizes where he needs to improve” Fast Feed Iñika Rueda, Ferrari’s chief strategist has revealed that they “had two and a half hours to ask permission from the FIA to look at the damage to Charles [Leclerc’s] car” in Monaco “Once the damage is determined, [they] have to ask for the parts to be replaced” He further divulged that they only had “seven minutes” on race day to try and repair the car if they wanted to start on pole He also explained that a pit lane start was not feasible as Leclerc would be on soft tyres and a pit lane start in Monaco on those tyres would have put them at a huge disadvantage Charles Leclerc, meanwhile has stated that “Monaco I love you and hopefully one day you will love me back” Retired F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, on the other hand, feels that “Leclerc can't blame anyone but himself for this” “He flew into the wall on Saturday, so [Villeneuve] can't feel sorry for him” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has suggested that in Monaco, they “were always on the backfoot, it seems to be a kind of cursed race track for [them]” “It’s a little bit like Singapore where [they] never got down to the problems until very late. When you start on the backfoot and have no grip and no trust in the car, it’s very difficult to recover” He also added that the pit stop debacle was “very frustrating for [Valtteri Bottas] because it seems he’s cursed” Former F1 driver turned analyst Jolyon Palmer is of the opinion that “winning in Monaco is no guarantee that you will be fast the whole season” “If you win in Barcelona or Bahrain, the normal circuits, that's a much better assessment you have then with where you stand” “Mercedes weren't good at it this weekend, but [he doesn't] think it's the end of the world now” Retired two-time world champion Mika Hakkinen pointed out that “despite starting the season with a very fast car, it seemed that Red Bull had given the advantage back to Mercedes” Monaco, “however, showed that consistency is so important in this business” He highlighted Red Bull driver Max Verstappen’s “second win, along with three-second places. He's on form every race and that's what you need to win a championship” He also finds it “strange to think that [Verstappen has] never led a championship before” FIA’s race director Michael Masi has confirmed that “the FIA, F1 and the teams will look and investigate what is possible” with regards to introducing a new rule for qualifying As per this rule, any driver who causes a red flag will have their fastest lap time deleted He added that they “know the rule [is present] at IndyCar, which is also a rule at a number of other international FIA championships around the world” He further confirmed that they “will start looking at it and then decide together with all the important shareholders [to see] if it suits the sport or not” Should the rule to delete your fastest lap time if you cause a red flag in qualifying be implemented in F1?
Wolff Reveals Exactly What Went Wrong For Mercedes In Monaco
Prior to the race in Monaco, it was the best start to a year in terms of points for Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. However, a poor showing in Monaco meant that not only did Hamilton finish in seventh but he also lost the lead in the championship to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. While Lewis Hamilton didn’t have the best weekend, things were made worse by the strategy call to pit early which saw Lewis lose positions. His teammate Valtteri Bottas had an even worse race as a pit stop error resulted in a DNF when he was comfortably running in second place. Both drivers have now called for improvements from the team and team principal Toto Wolff has also responded Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgwH7tUlT_i3zhccEkR4AaABCQ 0:00 - Were Drivers To Blame For Mercedes’ Monaco Troubles? 2:22 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Were Drivers To Blame For Mercedes’ Monaco Troubles? Hamilton began by stating that there is no finger pointing in the team “This team has shown time and time again, how we come back fighting. There's no finger pointing, we win and we lose together - we just need to find our feet and stay cool, we have 18 races left and there's a long way to go in this fight” Hamilton also gave his opinion on the performance of the team “We lost a lot of points today for a really, really poor performance from the team. Three places it cost us. We underperformed as a team all weekend from the get-go so we’ll just put our focus onto the next race” Bottas also gave his opinion on how his race unfolded “It’s a big mistake by us as a team that we need to learn from. Whether it’s human error or technical issue, it doesn’t matter; we need to find the issue and if it’s a human error we need to support the guy who did it. We need to learn from this. That’s the main thing in my mind and at the same time, yes, super disappointed” Wolff then explained why they went for the undercut with Hamilton despite the possibility of it backfiring “With Lewis, we just didn't have the pace in the car - it's as simple as that. The undercut looked like the only feasible way of clearing Gasly and there wasn't any mistake, the outlap was good, the pit stop was okay but it just wasn't enough” He also revealed how the wheel nut on Bottas’ car got damaged “Valtteri stopped a bit too early. This meant the mechanic had to use the wrench at an angle. The awkward angle damaged the wheel nut and we couldn't get the tyre off” He summed the weekend by pointing out that there is still a lot of races left in 2021 “You have to take a weekend like this on the chin - today we lost a few points but this is a long championship, it is going to swing back and forth and in the end we will see in Abu Dhabi who has their nose ahead” Fast Feed Lewis Hamilton feels that “[Baku’s] another street circuit, another one that’s a very cold, very smooth circuit, so another one that [Mercedes] could struggle at” “So, [they’re] just going to have to work and try and see how [they] can minimize that loss… [They’ve] got a good battle on [their] hands” Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is “super happy to win the Monaco Grand Prix. It’s such a tricky track and you need a smooth weekend” “So, [he’s] very pleased with what [they] have achieved as a team and of course with Honda” His teammate Sergio Perez thinks that “once [he’s] more comfortable with the car in qualifying, [he’ll] be in serious contention and fighting for victories” Red Bull team principal Chrostian Horner thinks that “as a team [they] have great strength in depth and finishing first or second in the first five races of the season is a phenomenal example of teamwork” He added that “there is a long way to go in this championship but [they] should always enjoy the wins” Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc has revealed that “not starting the race was difficult to take, especially at home” He added that they “still have to investigate what exactly was the issue. Overall, it was a good weekend for [them] though” He also pointed out that teammate “Carlos [Sainz] was strong and consistent and [he’s] happy for him and the whole team for scoring his first podium for Scuderia Ferrari” Sainz, meanwhile, confirmed that “the bittersweet feeling is still there though as [he feels] for Charles and for the team” He is also “obviously happy with P2 because [he thinks] it was the maximum [they] could achieve today from where [they] started” His team principal Mattia Binotto accepts that “it’s going to be difficult to be as competitive as [they] were [in Monaco]” Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel is “happy with fifth place [in Monaco] and it is great for the team to have both cars inside the points” For AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly, “it was a pretty long race and obviously with Lewis behind it wasn’t easy” Who will be the team to beat in Baku?
Horner Hits Back At Hamilton's "Nonsense" Claims
Mind games are a part of the title race in F1 and it has been a vital component in all the biggest rivalries in F1 history. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen are the two title protagonists this year and many feel that the gloves are finally coming off after Lewis Hamilton made some comments about Max. Both Max Verstappen and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner have now responded as well Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgwcP3rV7x1yNGpiRZZ4AaABCQ 0:00 - Horner Dismisses Hamilton’s “Nonsense” Comments 2:00 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Horner Dismisses Hamilton’s “Nonsense” Comments This particular war of words was set in motion when Lewis Hamilton was asked about McLaren CEO Zak Brown’s suggestion that Lewis and Max might not always give each other space when racing wheel to wheel “I think I've done well to avoid all the incidents so far, but we've got 19 more [races] to go and we could connect, hopefully not. I think the good thing is that I think there is a nice balance and amount of respect between us” He further explained how he and Max are at different points in their careers “I think perhaps [Max] feels he has a lot to prove. I'm not necessarily in the same boat there and I'm more long-term, 'it's a marathon not a sprint' sort of mentality, which is ultimately why I have the stats that I have. So, I'll continue with that and I'll do everything to make sure that we avoid connecting” Max Verstappen responded to Hamilton’s “a lot to prove” comments and gave his thoughts about the two possibly crashing into each other “I have nothing to prove. Avoiding contact is something that comes from both sides. So far it has gone well. I don't know what else to say either, we haven't crashed yet, have we? Apparently, such statements create headlines” His team principal Christian Horner didn’t hold back when reacting to Hamilton’s comments “Lewis loves that nonsense, just let him do his thing. Max is doing his own thing. And the fact that Lewis has to do that probably shows that Max has him under his thumb” He summed up his words by looking at the excitement factor associated with this rivalry “And we're just at the beginning. Can you imagine what it will be like if these two are still so close in the final races?” Fast Feed Red Bull’s Sergio Perez has stated that “all the pressure is coming from [himself. He] really wants to deliver to the maximum He added that “the team hasn’t put [him under] any pressure. [He knows] what kind of job [he has] to do” Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi feels that their driver “Esteban [Ocon] is doing everything to make [Rossi] consider keeping him in the team” He also revealed that “at the moment, he's considering obviously Esteban as [they] mentioned earlier on” Furthermore, “Fernando [Alonso] is here next year with them]. So, if [they] want to carry on on the momentum [they] have, [they’ll] do that” Christian Horner has stated that McLaren CEO Zak Brown has said that Max and Lewis will crash “so many times now that you’d almost get the impression, he wishes it!” Horner added that “Max and Lewis have come close a few times in recent races, and they’ve shown it’s possible without crashing” He also added that “if the battle for the world championship remains as exciting as [they] all hope, then the pressure will be higher and with it the chance of contact” He further thinks that it “always brings a lot of risk, but both drivers are smart enough not to do stupid things” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has pointed out that “there have been similar situations in the past [where the grey areas in the regulations have been questioned, as was the case] with the DAS” He also added that “the door is open for a protest [with regards to flexible rear wings], that’s not only for [them], because there are at least two more teams” who feel wronged “However, a protest creates a messy situation, just when the FIA wants to come up with a solution” surmised Toto McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl has stated that “from [their] point of view there is no reason to announce it now” regarding the flexible wings He added that “several teams have already taken advantage of something that [McLaren] think is against the regulations” “They have already had that advantage for a number of races and [McLaren are] really not happy about that” Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto has confirmed that “yes, [they] are exploiting” the regulations around flexible wings He thinks that “all the teams are exploiting somehow what's possible, and what [they] believe is right” He further feels that “the [FIA] technical directive is clarifying furthermore, and [they] will need to slightly adapt” Will Ocon be racing for Alpine again in 2022?
Leclerc Admits Ferrari Is "Different" Since Sainz Arrived
Ferrari have had a much stronger start to the 2021 season as opposed to the 2020 season. They are currently in a close battle for third in the championship with McLaren which is a step up from being only the sixth best team last year. One change that the team has undergone has been the arrival of Carlos Sainz as Charles Leclerc’s new teammate. Leclerc has now revealed if Sainz has had a role to play in Ferrari’s recent improvements Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugz5rMlML7dgANAW0wB4AaABCQ 0:00 - Leclerc Explains If Arrival Of Carlos Sainz Has Led To Ferrari’s Revival 2:18 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Leclerc Explains If Arrival Of Carlos Sainz Has Led To Ferrari’s Revival Charles began by looking at the start of the 2020 season “The first part of 2020 was complicated because we had to accept that we had taken a step back and it is never easy. Then we started to work really well, in a constructive way” “We immediately saw small progress, even if it is complicated to work miracles. Especially since there were technical restrictions between 2020 and 2021, so we couldn't do what we wanted with the car. But we worked well” “I may be repeating myself, but this is clearly not where we want to stay, we want to fight for victories. For that, there is still a lot of work. But we are working in the right direction” He then compared Sebastian Vettel’s time at Ferrari to that of current teammate Carlos Sainz “With Seb, it was a little different. He had a lot of experience, he knew the team very well when I arrived, which is very new for Carlos. We're both very young, it's his first year at Ferrari” He also pointed out how the team’s situation is very different now as opposed to when Vettel was there “There is a lot of enthusiasm, motivation. We are not in the same situation as two or three years ago with Seb where Ferrari was coming out of a period when the team was quite strong and managed to fight for the title” He then explained why their current situation gives them hope “We are no longer in a reconstruction phase. There is a lot of motivation to try to get back to where you want to be, which is to fight for the title. Seeing the improvements on the track, it gives us hope” He summed up his words by revealing if all this improvement is down to the arrival of Carlos Sainz “Everyone in the team is happy. They want to go back to the track to show the car's progress. It's a little bit different. I don't think it's Carlos especially, but the situation that lends itself to it” Fast Feed McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo has explained how in Monaco during “the run-up to the race [the drivers] walk through the crowd in the pit lane to get to [their] car” “It's chaotic before you get in your car, so your heart rate is already high and then the track does the rest for you” “It's the whole aura of boats, people on the circuit and drinking and partying at the end of the day. [He thinks] the lack of that will probably feel a bit empty” His teammate Lando Norris does not think that his “qualifying has been bad” He added that “Q1s and Q2s have been very good, and the first run in Q3 has often been very good. But in the second run of Q3 it has gone downhill a bit” “They all had a reason” which is why he is “not too worried about [his qualifying form]” Retired F1 driver Ralf Schumacher is of the opinion that Aston Martin driver “Sebastian Vettel's task in the coming races will be to dominate his teammate. He has to as a four-time world champion” He also thinks that the team “need to support Vettel where they can [and he still believes] Sebastian Vettel will get his act together” Alpine’s Fernando Alonso has revealed that “in 2020, when [he] made the decision to come back, all the other series were on the table” And he “thought that Formula 1 was the best challenge in that moment. And the best competition” He added that “even with the pandemic, the teams are still very strong and in good health economically and on performance side, to produce fantastic cars and a good show” Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto thinks that Spain saw them closing “the gap to those just ahead of [them]. Achieving that was [their] main aim for the weekend and [they] succeeded” Ben Pincus, Formula One's head of commercial cooperation has suggested that “whilst it’s usually the cars that grab the attention, it’s the people behind the machines that make the sport what it is” “There’s no sport in the world where human decision-making and innovation are more important, and through [their] partnership with Workday, [they’ll] bring those values to life” Which is why a new award will be presented after the Grands Prix from now on: the Workday Agility Award This award will be handed to the team that made the best, split-second decision during the race Who will win the intra-team battle at Aston Martin? Vettel or Stroll?
Is Ocon Going To Drive For Mercedes In 2022?
Alpine’s Esteban Ocon has had an interesting F1 career so far. At one point, he was even left without a seat in the sport but he is now in his second year with his current team. As a former member of Mercedes’ driver program, he was at one point seen as one of the drivers being groomed to drive for Mercedes in the future. However, that role has now been assumed by Williams’ George Russell. With the contracts of both of Mercedes’ current drivers Mercedes expiring at the end of this year, team principal Toto Wolff has to keep an eye out for his options and he has now revealed if Ocon, who is also one of the drivers he manages, still features in the team’s plans while speaking to Motorsport Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugxg1-kSklopz5vEN9Z4AaABCQ 0:00 - Is Toto Wolff Considering Esteban Ocon As A Future Mercedes Driver? 1:39 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Is Toto Wolff Considering Esteban Ocon As A Future Mercedes Driver? Wolff began by stating the obvious “Esteban has a link with us as a driver, but is also a full time Renault or Alpine driver and we have a very good relationship with Alpine” He then explained why it is a bit of a strange situation “So obviously Valtteri is the driver today, and Lewis is the driver today, and what will be next year will be next year. It’s a little bit of a weird situation because he’s been a Mercedes junior for a long time, and he is an Alpine works driver now. That's a fact” He also elaborated on why Alpine is a good fit for Ocon “I think the situation is good for him there. He's growing, he's putting in the performances. He's French. All that is very much the stars aligning” He summed up his words by revealing the circumstances under which he will consider Ocon as a possible replacement if they end up needing a new driver “I think it needs to be Laurent [Rossi, Alpine CEO] and Esteban's call first, how to continue, before we start to give an opinion” Fast Feed Former F1 driver turned pundit Martin Brundle has implied “that the Red Bull is highly tuned to [Max] Verstappen's preferences, driving style and formidable car control” This is evidenced by the fact that “Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon and now [Sergio] Perez have all relatively floundered” He added that “Sergio's head may be wiser and more experienced, but he'll need to lean on every single element of that now to play his essential role and not crumble” McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo has revealed that “in early 2016, Lewis [Hamilton] posted a video on Instagram hitting pads” and Ricciardo was training in a similar manner as well So, when” they saw each other again, Ricciardo asked him if they should “do a charity fight” But Lewis “didn’t bite on that one so” Daniel “was a little sad” Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer has suggested that “it will be how the Spanish Grand Prix unfolded, that will be demoralizing for Verstappen” Alpine’s Fernando Alonso thinks that “it’s impressive what” teammate Esteban Ocon is “achieving now” He feels that Ocon “is in very good form and, at the moment, fully integrated into the team” He added that he is giving “one hundred percent, but that's not enough to be at that level at the moment” as Ocon has outqualified him in three out of the four races so far He also “anticipated this a little bit” and pointed out how “when Carlos [Sainz] came to Renault, he was not as fast as [Nico] Hulkenberg” Similarly, “Daniel [Ricciardo] was arguably slower than Nico in 2019 and he was very good in 2020, his second year” He added that he is “trying to get this done as soon as possible, but” he’s “not too worried” “It's going to come very quickly because in Imola and Portimao” they “crossed the line together” Retired F1 world champion Mika Hakkinen feels that “Mercedes is way ahead in terms of strategy” “Not only is the car fast enough to compete with the very strong Red Bull, but the team is on top of their work with the strategy calls” Hakkinen added that “Hamilton's and Verstappen's skills aside, it's Mercedes' planning that punishes their rivals” Should Ocon be considered as an option for Mercedes in 2022?
'Surprised' Horner Responds to Comments About 'Bendy' Wing
Red Bull have made quite a few strides in their performance and are now Mercedes’ strongest championship rival. This also puts them under a lot of scrutiny especially with every new upgrade they introduce and their compliance with F1’s stringent rules. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton pointed out the new wing on the Red Bull car in Spain and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has now responded. Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyXL5ypidZp_2sOaUl4AaABCQ 0:00 - Are Red Bull Using An Illegal Wing? 1:17 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Are Red Bull Using An Illegal Wing? Hamilton had pointed out the wing in question and how it has helped Red Bull to improve “The Red Bulls are very fast on the straights. They have a bendy wing on the back of their car. As a result, they have gained at least three tenths in speed” “They will now be faster on the straights than us, and it will be difficult to keep them behind” Christian Horner responded by explaining how the wings are totally legal “I have seen the comments. The cars are scrutineered thoroughly, and there's pull back tests, and all kinds of different tests it has to pass. The FIA are completely happy with the car, that it has passed all of those tests that are pretty stringent” He summed up his words by implying that Hamilton’s thoughts may have originated elsewhere “So, I was surprised to see his comments on that. But it's something that Toto [Wolff] has mentioned to me previously. I doubt it was Lewis' opinion, so probably came from elsewhere” Fast Feed Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto thinks that the criticism against them “doesn't do honour to the team, because” “it's a team performance” Former driver Sergei Sirotkin feels that development “is where Red Bull still has something to learn” Lewis Hamilton never wants “to be in the position that” they “were in in January, in February” last year with delayed contract negotiations He further revealed that “it ruined” his “whole winter and” he’s “sure it wasn't helpful for” Toto Wolff’s winter either He then pointed out that they “still have 19 races to do, but it would be great to get something in place before the break” This way, they “could, again, be in that break and have a clear picture of the future” FIA race director Michael Masi has confirmed that the Spanish GP was “the first time that” they “really started” broadcasting the radio messages between the teams and race direction He divulged that “it actually came up during a consultation with the F1 committee last year” This was “so that viewers can hear what the communication is like between the pit wall and the teams, as that is something” they “do very often” Honda F1's Technical Director Toyoharu Tanabe feels that “it’s difficult to overtake from eighth place” referring to Red Bull’s Sergio Perez He added that if they “don't improve” strategy and overall speed, they “can't beat Mercedes” As such, Honda “are going to do” their “best to make the power unit faster” Christian Horner accepts that they need Sergio Perez to provide strategic backup for Max Verstappen “so that Mercedes don't have the strategic options that they had” in Spain However, he is also convinced that “it's coming together for” Perez “as he finds more confidence and time in the car” Should all radio communication during a race be available to hear to the public?
Verstappen Says Lack Of Support Leaves Him “A Sitting Duck”
Over the first four races of 2021, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has been, championship leader, Lewis Hamilton’s closest rival. Hamilton currently has the upper hand in this rivalry with three wins to Max’s one. In all the races that Max has failed to win, one of the factors that went against him was the fact that he was alone in the fight against the Mercedes cars. This has given Mercedes the upper hand as Max’s teammate Sergio Perez hasn’t been able to provide the strategic backup Red Bull needs to negate Mercedes’ aggressive strategy calls. After the same thing happened in Spain, Verstappen has now reflected on this predicament Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugw61LrS__nYGVwWmcd4AaABCQ 0:00 - Max Verstappen Rues Lack Of Support 1:53 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Max Verstappen Rues Lack Of Support Max began by explaining why he isn’t too disappointed with second place in Spain “I tried everything I could today and took the lead at Turn 1 but from there we were just lacking a bit of pace to Mercedes. Of course, we wanted to win but I cannot feel too disappointed as I did everything I could out there and maximized the opportunities” He then suggested how a different strategy wouldn’t have made much of a difference “Even if we had looked at another strategy and done a two-stop and pitted before them, we wouldn’t have made the time up as they were just faster than us” He then analyzed Mercedes’ strategy call “I know how fast I can go and where the limit of the car is and when they can do a free stop behind it is easy for them to do a different strategy. I pretty much knew that when he pitted for the second time that he would come back at me on the new tyres a bit like Hungary 2019” He further elaborated on how him being alone in this fight makes things easier for Mercedes “Although I did everything I could I was a bit of a sitting duck. I'm also just alone in this fight. They can easily make a second stop because there's a gap behind them. Of course, that doesn't help either” He reiterated this to conclude his thoughts “Then at least they can't make that second stop and then it's just towards the end who has the best tyres left. It's like that though” Fast Feed Lewis Hamilton has pointed out that he “was following” Max Verstappen relatively closely in Spain As such, he learnt “a lot about his car and how he uses it, so it was a good race in that respect” Red Bull’s Sergio Perez feels that he’s “getting more confident with the car now and every time” he gets “to the end of a weekend”, he wishes that “the weekend was just starting” He added that “every circuit is different so what” he learns “here will be different to what” he needs “in Monaco but the main thing is that” he’s “still adapting and hopefully soon” he “can be 100%” He is also “excited for Monaco, especially with this car as historically it’s been competitive and” he thinks they “have a chance of winning” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has stated that the “full focus” is “on Monaco now and continuing work back at the factory to find more performance and catch up to Mercedes” Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is “really happy” after Spain “because from the cockpit you can feel when you do a good job” His team principal Mattia Binotto feels that “there’s still a lot of work to do to get the Scuderia back to where it should be” However, he’s “pleased to see that the whole team, both at the track and Maranello, is clearly keen to improve” For McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo, Spain was “the best weekend so far as a whole and” he felt like he “got the maximum out of the car” AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly is “upset with” himself “for making the mistake on the grid” where he failed to position his car correctly for the race start which earned him a penalty Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer has pointed out that they “frustratingly” and “narrowly failed to score points” in Spain His driver Sebastian Vettel has suggested that “the new parts” they had in Spain “helped, and” they “need to keep taking steps forward each weekend” Haas driver Nikita Mazepin is under the impression that he had “quite a clean race from” his side in Spain. “No big mistakes, and pretty consistent driving” He, however, added that “there’s a lot to be learned” and that “it’s every rookie’s job to keep learning in every race” Pirelli F1 Boss Mario Isola pointed out that Spain featured “an intense strategic battle, so it's perhaps surprising that in the end the top four finished exactly as they started on the grid” Who will be the team to beat in Monaco?
Perez Addresses “Extreme” Criticism From Aston Martin
Current Red Bull driver Sergio Perez was in the center of one of the most surprising developments in the driver market last year. Despite having a contract with Racing Point (now Aston Martin), he was dropped in favor of Sebastian Vettel. Recently, his former team’s technical director Andy Green characterized Perez’s driving style as extreme that did not work on every circuit on the calendar. Perez has now responded to this criticism. Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyXkD4uXCKu5fBM4s54AaABCQ 0:00 - Sergio Perez Hits Back At Former Team’s “Extreme” Criticism 1:25 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Sergio Perez Hits Back At Former Team’s “Extreme” Criticism Perez began by explaining how each car is different while analyzing his current Red Bull car “They’re obviously very different in many aspects – the way you drive each of the cars is very different. So, you have to adapt to a different car, to a different style. But … this car has potential in it. And once I get on top of the car, we should be looking good” He then pointed out how his “extreme” driving helped his former team “Well, I think thanks to that ‘extreme driving’, we managed to get a lot of points! In a way, I think it helped us a lot in the past. And I just have to keep improving every year, try to make it more complete” He signed off by reiterating that he has no idea what Green meant by calling his driving style extreme “With every car, you’re going to be adapting yourself. So, it has to be very specific on which aspect, where you pick it up. With ‘extreme’ comes in a lot of things. Who knows?” Fast Feed Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has pointed out that Sergio Perez’s 2020 “season just got stronger and stronger” “The absolutely crucial moment for him was winning that race from the back of the grid in Bahrain and after that performance you couldn't ignore what he had managed to achieve” added Horner He also revealed that “everyone in the team wanted” 2020 driver “Alex [Albon] to keep that seat, but you just couldn't ignore a talented driver with Sergio's experience” “So, in the end it was a relatively easy decision, but” they “were just lucky to have time on” their “side” Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel has stated that “driving this car feels different” He further explained that “every F1 car has power steering, but every power steering is tuned slightly differently and that immediately gives you a completely different impression” He added that “the car has a completely different philosophy.
