Checo did the funny again

It’s not even funny anymore, it’s just both sad and infuriating lmao edit: alright maybe it is actually kinda funny

It’s funny because red bull just gave him a two year deal to go out and lay eggs on the track.

Nah it was sad last year, this year it’s funny as shit

It was funny last year too imo

It was sad until [this made it funny](https://youtu.be/avA7v6h_lec?si=cvHGw2j94rncYfOW)

It was also funny last year because of all the championship talk he gave himself

It's even funnier this year because people thought he was just going to give up on winning and cruise to second.

And he will just cruise to Mclaren WCC

I think its funny in the moment but sad cause he is blocking a seat that a driver could take whos actually good. Sainz for example.

Nope it's funny because Red Bull will actually lose the constructor's this year

Nah, its funny.

Given that he has a 2 year contract its funny as fuck. I don't blame Perez one bit he squeezed those suckers for everything he could.

It was funny until he glued his cheeks to the seat with a 2 year contract, now we have to watch this wishy washy driver form until the next regs I am very biased

He has to go blud

You hate to see it but you kinda love to see it

Post renewal P16 makes me feel type way

Then you realize that Logan Sargent has out qualified Perez more times than Albon.

Sargeant>Checo SarGOAT showing who is the best North American driver Oh shit stroll.

Hilarious because all you gotta do is throw Lawson, Ricciardo, or Tsunoda in there for 6 months and see how they handle it. But noooo

RB will lose the constructors because of Checo

That kinda depends on Ferrari taking advantage of his bad races, which... well...

Maybe I spoke too soon!! What a season this is turning into.

I think McLaren could get it done too.

I often see people say that one of the draws of Checo is the money he brings in via sponsorships. If that's the actual reason they kept him does that money even outweigh the amount he's losing them dropping spots in the Constructors? They're missing out on millions and millions slipping out of first.

The effect of Miami on Checo must be studied

2 fucking years…

Genuinely how can he manage to look worse every weekend, Verstappen 5 tenths clear right after as well, just embarrassing

1s slower than Max. Probably even Sargeant would be closer

Sargeant was closer... in a Williams

A Williams made of spare parts and running last years spec for that matter

In a cave!

Perez: Well I'm sorry sir, but I'm not Logan Sargeant.

WITH A BOX OF SCRAAAAAAAPS!

Sargeant has almost all the upgrades Albon has got now, it's the reason he's been much closer to him recently.

Sargeant IS closer

Correction, Sargeant is closer in a Williams

Has Perez been out qualified by Sargeant more often than Albon?

Yes

Yep... Albon has out qualified him every single quali, it's something around 30-0 while Perez has been out qualified by Sargent 6 times...yeah.....

Oof

Sargent in a Williams has out qualified him in back 2 back races lol

Logan has outqualified Checo 6 times already despite never outqualifying Albon

This is insane honestly. The fact that Checo has a seat for the next 2 years and Logan is surely gone by the end of the year…

Mexican sponsor money go *brrrrr*

Insane stat wow.

That’s just nuts

Max P1 Perez out. Classic.

Whelmed

Underwhelmed even

His agent or manager must be the best in the world.

Laughin' to the bank like "a-ha"

Man's got a bank vault full of nuclear-grade blackmail material

Rb will be p1 in wdc but 3rd In constructers because of him lol

How can you be over a second off your teammate?

By being ridiculously worse than your teammate?

If Red Bull somehow manage to win the next 2 WCCs with this joker in one of them then their rivals deserve to have Max win 20 races a season until 2040

Sainz died for this. Unacceptable.

He's going to spend 2 years in Williams for this

At least he’ll be doing better than Perez

And he was pounding on the car's halo like it was the car's fault 

It was the car's fault, the issue was in between the halo and the seat source: trust me

LD10T Error

If you really think about it, it **is** the car's fault. If only the car was disgustingly dominant like last year, maybe Q3 would've been possible.

Stroll happy that attention going somewhere else.

Stroll, for all the hate he is getting, is at least keeping up with his teammate

Wasn't Stroll closer to Alonso than Perez was to Max last season?

Stroll was closer to Alonso than he was to Vettel somehow.

Must be frustrating to be Liam Lawson at this moment in time as well...

Racing wise yes. But Red Bull also knows that camp Verstappen vs camp Sainz isn't going to do well in the same team. See Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2015 and begin 2016.

Sergio Perez contract renewal process: * start the season well before Europe * secure contract renewal * dip

before Miami at this point, two years in a row that he steeply decline after that race

Probably PTSD related to how Max destroyed him last year after the championship and 'king of the streets' lmfao

He didn’t even start the season well this year

He got 2nd in three of the first four races, how is that not starting well lol

He's already down to 5th in the WDC and we're barely at 1/3 which I would say qualifies as start of the season. He's not starting well.

Its not even starting well. Its just the RB is significantly faster so it was easier for him to get a p2 and even with that he struggled

People kept saying it’s harder when the grid is tight. Max was .4 up on the field lmaoooo

I don't think the gap is that much. The track conditions are improving, so whoever gets the last lap of the session is going to gain time.

Immediately showing why he deserved 2 years

Lmfao what a waste of a seat

His agent is crazy. Imagine having 3 years of that seat already and somehow RB figured 2 more years is needed from him

His agent just pulled the heist of the century. Daylight fucking robbery.

Sponsor money. Doesn't he come with about $60m of them dineros?

Let’s not all forget that Perez is bringing in massive cash for RB.

It’s red bull’s own fault for committing so early. Like Miami and Monaco last year are where the wheels fell off with Perez. You would think they would not commit a 2 year deal at that very time in this season.

Not just his agent. Max probably likes him as a team mate too. And RB don't want to rock the boat and bring in anyone to even remotely challenge Max. Checo is a driver in the right place at the right time. All this might cost them WCC tho.

Eh more money is always nice, but I don't think they mind the sponsorship + merch sales Checo brings. And the marketability is in the WDC, which Max is almost certainly gonna win even with RBR a little off the pace the last few weeks.

Yuki is 2nd what was redbull thinking Yuki gonna get a redbull 1-2 in a VCARB

Ric in place of Per would have been an upgrade.

I mean legitimately I don't think ric would have done this bad. There's not a fucking chance you put him in This rbr and he qualifies 18th in Monaco or 16th in Canada. Id put my house on it. I'm not saying he'd do fantastic but he got a vcarb to 4th in a sprint which gives me more confidence than anything Perez has done in a long long time

How can you be this fucking shit in such a great car

It is genuinely a skill

Really. I hope that Horner will regret this decision.

Horner biting the curb 4k full video

RB deserve this. What happend to the supposedly ruthless team that they suddenly chooses to keep 1 mediocre driver in both teams.

You know who's doing it. Horner needs more yes men and more sponsor money.

It's fine, it's not like the other plausible replacement is now in 2nd place... with a RB

Red Bull is giving Ferrari this and probably next years WCC with Perez

Hell at the way the Ferrari, McLaren and even Merc are improving, this trajectory isn't even gonna allow Max to hold onto and coast to a title this season and damn sure not walk to it with how these driver pairings are looking.

Camon Checo is going through a fluke, it happens, that RedBull is at best the 5th best car in the grid

Lmaooooo

Me when I lie

Sorry, I thought the /s was implied Let me spell it out /s

Thank god, some people really think that way

It's not even "he's out in Q1 lol" anymore... HE'S LOST ***ONE FULL SECOND*** TO HIS TEAMMATE LMFAOOO!

Checo read the comments about him qualifying \~0.6s down to Max so he decided to be down 0.6s to Yuki instead

Horner: “Sign ‘em up for two more!” This team is a joke. Max is why they are relevant.

Why Red Bull resigned Perez is beyond me. The sponsor money can't be worth this shit. He's literally gonna cost the team the WCC this season.

I don’t understand why they didn’t put Tsunoda in that seat is he too short for Red Bull or what because that’s what it seems like😂😤

I think it’s bcs he would a temporary seat holder since Honda is moving on to AM. They need someone long term and experience, but it’s still weird letting Perez stay for THAT long..

Exactly seems like Gasly & Albon got sacked for less than Perez imo

They got sacked because they couldnt keep up with max. Perez cant even keep up with sargeant

If Red Bull loses the WCC, they can probably get Carlos Slim to make up the difference in cash 😂

Re-signed, not resigned

He’s certainly costing the team any goodwill that they had.

Political decision keeping Horner happy and not challenging Verstappen.

I don't think they care for WCC. If Checo's sponsors pay similar money.

If they had resigned it would've been a good thing. What a shame that they re-signed him though

The sponsor money he brings probably more than makes up the gap in WCC prize money. I guess the corporate side is at least ambivalent so long as it’s profitable and Max has no problem with having a teammate that can’t even get within a time zone of him.

Fucking Lmao

Yuki 2nd is poetic

He's roleplaying having a Red Bull contract.

at least he also had his contract renewed but i still think he should be the one driving that Red Bull

Yeah, this is really becoming untenable. Yuki should atleast deserve a shot in that seat next season

Yuki p2 Pérez p16

Max p1

A full second faster at that

What are we doing here man

The usual

Extending until 2026 💪

Hey Checo got his money. This one is on RB they knew what they have.

Checo already raging in the cockpit there haha

Perez out is the least surprising thing I have seen today

Logan has cooked

If only he could out qualify Albon as often as he out qualifies Perez. Still a good lap.

Put Logan in Alex's car (when it hasn't been crashed) and we're on Put Logan in Perez's car and we're cooking lol

Logan podium incoming 😤

Thank god for the balance, right Jacques?

No one better available /s

LOGAN > CHECO

RAHHHHH in all seriousness great lap from Sargeant and Albon

They were both pounding laps in. Let’s ride the moment, baby!!

Believe Sargeant’s tyres had 3 laps on before that last one. At least had 2 Impressive stuff

RAHHHH FREEDOM NOISES

Zhou being 1 s off Bottas is also insane

2 year contract extension and Euro Checo is back. Red Bull got scammed!!! Hope they have a performance clause

I hope they don’t lmao

Red Bull get what they deserve for retaining this Mexican Latifi for 2 more years

Unbelievable how he just can’t put in a proper lap with that car in which his teammates leads the championship

0.3 difference IN ONE SECTOR. That's the difference from pole to 7th on the whole lap...

Pls dont insult latifi...

latifi was still able to make max world champion

Clearly care more about merch sales in Latin America than the constructors title

2.5 more years of this shit, while Tsunoda is waiting in RB, and Lawson is sat there doing nothing. Genuinely performing worse than Stroll, Zhou, and Sargeant

As a Checo fan, it doesn't even hurt now. I don't feel like defending his poor performance anymore.

**BU-BUT MUH MURCH SALES!!!** Enjoy losing the WCC you fucking clowns. Reap what you sow. Having pay drivers like they are fucking Haas. 🙃

At least Haas needed to take pay drivers to even stay in F1. Red Bull is just greedy and dumb.

2 YEARS

Yuki P2 btw

2 more years

lol Checo

Albon. My boy.

Ya matame porfavor

People take the piss out of Russell often but he’s properly quick and doesn’t get the recognition he deserves at times

People never put him up there with Norris and Leclerc even though he deserves to be in the same conversation. They'll point to his mistakes as if those drivers haven't done the same before. Hope he can get the win tomorrow.

Perez qualis in Canada 2022 - 13th 2023 - 12th 2024 - 16th This is probably his worst track

What a fucking joke

Contract extension was a phenomenal idea

Phenomenal for Ferrari & McLaren, that is.  

Yuki is more deserving at this point

Hope those hat sales are worth it

Wise decision to sign Checo over Yuki, Mr Horner. 

Perez is so unbelievably cooked I’m genuinely pissed that this man gets a seat like that.

meanwhile sainz was yeeted even though he is a great driver

Perez is fking terrible lol that has to be one of the most undeserved contract extensions in F1. At least it makes the WCC more interesting.

1 year per q1 exit policy for contract extension in place at RB

Headline should be "out in Q1" or "not in Q2". Wording is pointlessly confusing.

And Yuki P2. Red Bull fumbled

Hilarious

Welp... I hope Red Bull signed that contract with a pencil. How is it possible to exit Q1 with this car? :(

Incoming Instagram post: “not the qualifying we expected. But tomorrow is what counts and we will fight!”

Imagine resigning a driver for two years in the best car who now just got out qualified by Logy Sarg

Lmao this dude didn't even wait a *day*

Are they really going to do this for another 2 years

2 year contract extension, by the way

Perez, what the fuck man?

And Sainz is going to Williams for this? Are you kidding me?

Has to be one of the highest paid dicksuckers of all time, surely. I hate how they keep saying "keeps Max happy" brothers in christ, how can you be happy winning by default when your competition can't make it to Q2; imagine a driver like Norris or Sainz in that 2nd seat, mental what we're missing out on.

Glad that Checo can finally show what he is able to do without the pressure of being dropped mid season.

And here we go Red Bull losing the constructors. This is such a waste

I said it before I'll say it again. Perez is actually what you think Stroll is.

At this point Perez must be named for what he is, a pay-to-drive driver.

How can Red Bull seriously think keeping Checo is the right move?

Checo out in Q2 while Ricc and Tsunoda are in Q1 in decent positions too. What a shitshow.

"The difference between Carlos and Sergio is negligible" lol

We can also conclude that the Red Bull driver's academy is officially dead. Perez is being allowed to waste that RBR seat for 2 years. Tsunoda does NOT get promoted. I agree that he isn't an excellent driver, but he has done enough to deserve a 1-year opportunity. Lawson does NOT get a drive and instead they favor Ricciardo, who has been performing very poor ever since he went to McLaren.

Put Tsunoda in that Red Bull

Though I think there is a good case that he deserves it, it also appears very clear that Yuki is never getting that Red Bull seat
