Absolutely admire the way Lawson has handled the old guard. They are all there (mostly) on merit and deserve the right to fight for a place as much as anyone. As for the finger, everyone needs to grow up a bit, anyway calling another driver an idiot over the radio is just as bad. Also, how do you respect a driver running 10th in a car that’s capable of at least a podium finish 😂
I watched that fight between Checo and Lawson, and it was clear Checo tried to pull a Max on him, and Lawson just wasn't having it. Good for Lawson. It was great driving on Lawson's part. It seemed Checo was taking out his frustrations on a new driver. Lawson was wrong for giving Checo the finger. Especially since the car is full of cameras.
He was pointing at the issue in the other car. lol The funny thing is if you look for f1 drivers giving the finger you will see Alonso and a lot of latin drivers.
Lawson didn't leave him room. Cheko was alongside of him and Liam turned straight into him. these cars are fragile and only need to touch each other to ruin the aero package.Liam wont win any friends if he keeps on being a dick.These older guys also know how to pull a young guy into line too.
@@robbphillips2845 Liam didn't get a penalty and Checo was lucky not to get one either. Why is a senior driver divebombing a junior in the sister team. Runs Liam out of track but Liam keeps on it and fights back? This is what Alonso is famous for and checo for defending. They love to deal it but can't take their own medicine. it was desperate from checo and sure Liam raced hard and pushed back because he has the right to do so. It was brilliant. Checo wants and senior citizen driver pass lol Checo should have passed on the straight
@@robbphillips2845 didnt get penalised though. Because he was fine. Checo just taking out his frustration because he knows that after Brasil next week, Lawson will be RedBull#2
Liam remember this from the Richie McCaw play book. 1/. Be humble 2/. If you need to sought someone out don't get caught. PS. anybody got a better engagement of the "Bird" at speed?
Another Kiwi eh. I think the incident was Perez fault. As for Liams finger at Perez -good on ya Liam. You are standing up for yourself - we're with you!!!!!!
So a little over a month ago it was TWO INDEPENDENT TEAMS and Ricciardo was NOT ASSISTING RB because TWO INDEPENDENT TEAMS...and this week it's "He should have respected his teammate" ... Get your stories straight, RB!
If I was Lawson, I would have flipped him off with both hands. But considering the steering would have gone haywire, I would have to resort to the ol'switcheroo. Left hand 1st for obvious reasons...
Perez should not have been that far down the grid in the first place, he qualified at the back in possibly the best car and then totally failed to stop anywhere near his grid box so got penalised. Better still even though Max had 20 seconds in penalties he ended up Perez managed to get himself lapped! Get rid of Perez now before Brazil, after all being over 200 points behind Max in the championship he doesn’t deserve the seat. Persuade Danny Ricc to jump in for the last races, Red Bull had no problem cutting him mid season so Perez can go the same way. He only ever performs when looking for a new contract, he got it then went mediocre again and cost the team the championship this season and with that a large pot of money.
Perez questioning the jump start shows an arrogance and lack of judgement to understand his own failings - he should have stepped down last year before losing all respect
TOTALLY agree with your comments regarding Liam Lawson's driving ... he should not be expected to _give way_ to a 'senior driver'. However I think the 'middle finger' to Perez was unnecessary & unhelpful.
Even if it was his middle finger, he’s done his talking on the track. People were complaining F1 is boring yet when someone fights back they have a cry. Pick a lane, cos I know I want to see the best drivers scrapping for any positions they can get.
@@bobroberts3968 : only matters if you bring it to their attention. What with all the other things going on the ‘finger’ is pretty tame nowadays. But, point taken
@@bobroberts3968Maybe Perez shouldn’t call him an idiot over the radio and talking very bad about him in interviews. Even including the “Alonso incident” What a sad P O S
Pay drivers are a thing of the past if you want to win the teams championship. and thats a good thing put the best person in the car. will Lowrance Stroll have the gusts to have a clean out in his team.
Liam has raised my respect for him even more. Not afraid to battle the old guard and showing them out. Junior Alonso style. The finger was a bit too much, especially on camera, but that's Liberty Media/FOM/F1 who let that out, such that Mo Ben Suly can smear another pound of butter on his head...
Yeah Alonso also gave the middle finger in Monaco in 2004 or 5 I think. Hand gestures are popular especially with Spanish speaking drivers, italians oh and Aussies and Kiwis.
@Max_Flashheart nice! Thank you so much for reminding me, you're right... MC Ben Sulayem should embrace the right gestures in the sport. Schumi deserved a lot more than just fingers. Tommo's latest expands on that so well!
@Max_Flashheart we share the same favorites, very nice, good Eye am Eye! I heard Slim is switching sponsoring from Mexican to Argentinian pesos. The apparently 19th richest man on the planet paying says everything. Colapinto and Lawson will also amaze us with their junior brazen talents in 2025!
I like how Horner commented re independent teams etc, whether that’s true or not that was the right approach and good to see he doesn’t see anything wrong with Liam’s approach. I live n hope to see Danny back whether that’s a good decision or not.
Alonso and Checo wanted Senior Citizen Driver Pass lol Using the Alonso cut back on Alonso and out defending the minister of defence. They can deal it out but they can't take it from a Junior. Drivers will respect Lawson more now and he isn't torpedoing into cars or driving both cars off track like Max. It was brillant.
Have a look at D Ric driving history compared to Perez and then ask yourself whether there would have been a different outcome if D Ric had a real car.
Redbull made a deal with Disney to keep him on till they released their series and another deal with f1 to wait after mexico. Now that has passed i doubt he will make the end of this season.
Checo isn't completely without blame, but he's being scapegoated for all of Red bull's problems. They've spent a season and a half developing the car away from him and his driving style. Then admit a few weeks ago that he was right about the car and expect it to turn around on a dime. I don't think anyone but Max will succeed in that car and Checo would be better moving on.
We remember the last guy who said, "I'm still here," ...where is he now? Sergio, nor any other driver, is going to stay in F1 by just saying you're not leaving. It's what you do on track. The seniors in my opinion, got way too comfortable last season with no driver changes and were coasting, but now with the rookies there and coming in, they are realizing, *gasp *, they're being challenged for seats, they are having to compete hard, they are going neck and neck between not only teams, but each other for points and positions in constructors standings. This is what F1 should be. The best drivers duking it out for the top of the throne. You know s--t has gotten real when even Max is having to fight and claw once more for position. And take it from a former manager, when your manager stops defending you and won't directly answer your questions, that's the beginning of the end, and maybe Sergio already knows it.
Yhis does sound like almost a cut and paste of what they said for Daniel. The only thing different is after the backlash on how the dumped Daniel, yhey may do it differently yhis time.
Why the hell are they persisting with Perez who probably won't score a point again this year the way he has been performing. He's getting chellenged back in the field by hungry young drivers - but what the hell is he doing at the back of the field in a car that should be landing podium finishes?. Perez should retire with dignity now - or soon suffer the humiation of being pushed.
No matter what us outsiders think,its obvious Perez only still has that seat at Redbull through financial reasons..He simply is NOT good enough,and has never been...!!!
Perez's attitude and his complaining and whining the last season is pathetic. Danny Ric and many more have been shitcanned for less. Calling names and being rude has been Sergio's mo for months. He should be out. It's so obvious that he's only there for the money.
@@shiftingears123 he's never been that great, rb put him in the seat because he was never a challenge to Max and he brings in a lots of money in sponsors. Btw...it's time to stop disparaging people for being fans because of a TV show, it's tired, boring, asinine and childish at this point, more fans means more eyes on the sport.
Slim pulling out at the end of this season tells us everything about his "golden boy" future. We get a good sweep of the grid. RIC FINALLY gone, now PER and BOT still to leave.
So Perez thinks the new guy fighting for a future in F1 should just open up the door and let him pass? I'd say no way, if Perez has the faster car and is more experienced, just make your way past. There are a few drivers like Perez should have overstayed by now, let the new guys in!
I was praying for Redbull downfall like never before just because they keep Perez in the team. Now they will lose championship because of that. He is just not good enough to drive REDBULL, he doesnt DESERVE IT
Hmmm, DanRic driving the last 3 races with RedBull as one last opportunity to prove himself. This would allow Liam and Yuki to prove themselves post season could be an interesting scenario...though unlikely.
DR had too many chances. And proved he just doesn’t have that little bit extra. People who say he needs the RB seat are the same people who work at a job and clap when the bosses pet gets the promotions. DR didn’t deserve his extra two years with VCARB. It’s time for fresh blood to come through F1
Perez is such a sad F. How he talked about Lawson in interviews and even calling him idiot over the radio (without punishment) far after the contact should give him a race ban
Letting these youngins' in early is NOT the problem of the elder drivers, it's the creation on the sport by F1/FIA. The elders have to realize this and adapt because it's not going to go away, exactly the opposite. If the F1 is not careful they will polarize their fans base like NASCAR did and is now in a transition where the older fans fans that made the sport are run off by the newer/younger fans as per the F1/FIA rules base......and that won't be good for the sport. NASCAR is absolute junk right now, though most people don't realize it.
Lawson thinks he's better and more important than he really is. He needs to keep his mouth shut and respect the more experienced drivers if he wishes to progress in the sport.
These old timers don't like youngsters competing with them ferociously - get called an idiot for competting and standing your ground? - give 'em the Bird I say. At this level it's all in/ That's what makes F1 great and Lawson's willingness to compete, signals he has the balls to go a long in the sport.
All these up coming new drivers like liam will go through the same thing and riddicule as perez see how he feels laughing now but you just wait the smile be on the other side of his face
The fact is, any driver on that grid that would take a dive bomb from Sergio Perez like that without getting their elbows out, doesn't belong in F1. Most of the drivers on that grid, plus the one who got fired a few weeks ago, would never be outside the top 10 in that car. The Red Bull, on average over a race, is capable of being 0.5+ sec per lap quicker than the midfield cars. The only reason Perez got stuck behind midfield drivers is because he lacks the headline pace for the team to pull an aggressive strategy that allows him to jump the midfield.
frankly decisions made by both red bull drivers this weekend showed how neither of them are top teir drivers and them thinking theyre special because theyre long time drivers is shocking
Checo is an absolute disaster, how many times has he crashed the car in the last two years. Meanwhile Max almost never damages the car. Checo has cost RB the championship and they will never win another with him that seat.
If Checo’s excuse is the performance of the car then the fault is actually on him. Had he pushed to move to another team with a different handling car he probably could have turned around his career. NoticeI said different not better. You can always try to adapt to the car and in Red Bull’s case he tried but failed. A lot! Now it’s too late. His reputation is ruined.
I hate to say it as Checo is very likable. But Checo needs to be shown the door or retire. Bring back Daniel to fill in for Yuki or Liam in Checos seat.
Lawson keep up your enthusiasm 👍
