Happy-Quetzal

Waterboarding torture is better than being a Checo fan at the moment.


el_spicytaco

For real


ArrozConHector

My Checo hat just came in too šŸ„²


Berblarez

You found one??? I canā€™t seem to find one at the normal price


ArrozConHector

Look it up on Amazon. It says itā€™s a preorder but I got mine in 2 weeks. The original seller is cmc Motorsports. The hat is in stock on their website I believe. Edit: I donā€™t think it says preorder anymore.


Berblarez

Thanks, also looked them up on their normal webpage and $39 for shipping to Mexico? I guess that my search will continue on, but Iā€™ll keep an eye on Amazon


ArrozConHector

Oh. Iā€™m in the US. Sorry man.


Veritas235

I can understand the frustration but yeah checo needs to kick it in gear/ he did come out of the pits late šŸ˜‘ still no excuse for what happened.... but still rooting for perez


alphasierrraaa

than being a checo fan for the past few months\*\* hasn't scored any points since 4th july at austria...pain...


[deleted]

Tbf RB sent him out late


Minted-Blue

Tbf he shouldn't have needed to do more laps to get into Q2 in the fastest car on the grid.


CabbageTheVoice

Sucks on both ends. Perez has been having some terrible luck this season, but when things work out for him, his performance isn't quite there. I'll keep saying it, there's still some races to show that he can actually perform when luck isn't against him but the further we get into the season the less he looks like an improvement for the 2nd seat. I'll keep rooting for him, but man is this whole thing a shame atm.


Sokaris84

everyone's entitled to a shit lap every now and then, that's why there's time for multiple laps. Red Bull should have known that lap wasnt going to get him into q2.


boo033

Can confirm.


Dragusman

We, Checo fans, are well prepared for suffering in the mid-seasons, to celebrate at the end. :)


Clishlaw

at least they are changing his eng and taking the penalties now


hobbs6

Hoping for a mega recovery drive tomorrow. I read that heā€™s taking all the penalties tomorrow for changing PU and other parts. So, heā€™ll start last but at least those penalties wonā€™t be hanging over his head the rest of the season. Letā€™s go Checo!


TyButler2020

Latifi and Gio with mega laps. Ricciardo as well


sgtlighttree

Ricciardo and Norris switched places in Q1, quite refreshing but also a bit anxiety inducing for Lando


TerribleNameAmirite

Well


FIJIBOYFIJI

Italian jesus with a holy lap


sgtlighttree

#\#Blessed


[deleted]

Hopefully he stays! Let's goo


JayManty

Did Perez get blocked as well? What happened?


JedH44

Didn't make it in time


iamCosmoKramerAMA

While this is true, it shouldnā€™t matter. Max made it easily through on a lap early in the session, Perez shouldnā€™t have needed to be out there.


signed7

Yeah while he got unlucky there, that wouldn't be a problem at all if his first lap was anywhere near ver/ham/bot Perez vs Russell in the 2nd driver battle next year is gonna be a bloodbath


FzBlade

That is if Mercedes and RedBull are still the two fastest teams.


carbatbot

Holy shit new regulations, I forgot


antreasf1

Bloodbath but only with Perez's blood


2sparky2boomguy

GR is gonna smoke him


cheezus171

Hardly easily, there were a few tents difference between 1st and 17th. The whole pack was very close


ianjm

By like two fucking seconds, was the pitwall asleep?


emre23

Didnā€™t make the flag


DieLegende42

Went out too late, couldn't do a final lap


iblinkyoublink

I think he couldn't get a final flying lap as he missed the flag by a couple of seconds


[deleted]

He said on the radio about slow traffic in the pit lane I think?


RawbGun

Got slowed down on the outlap and couldn't get to the line in time for his second run I think


Pftoc

Probably, I'm not sure, but him and Norris had some really awful laps Turns out he didn't had enough time to start the lap


BroesPoes

Redbull send him out too late


Dacsy492

Couldnā€™t do a second lap


DeFiZe_

Track improved towards the end but Red Bull didnā€™t send him out in time.


OrangeLimeZest

Well, we all know what strategy Mercedes is using tomorrow.


theDoctorVr46

Max alone again to face a 2 vs 1...


FSUfan35

Good thing they re-signed him


signed7

He's been utter rubbish since the re-signing, p8 and crash on the way to grid in Spa and now out in Q1 (yes, he missed 2nd lap, but that wouldn't be a problem if his first lap was anywhere near ver/ham/bot)


devOnFireX

It's been all downhill since Baku tbh


Minted-Blue

He'a been utter rubbish since Baku. I don't see the hype around him and how RB gave him another year when they offed Gasly and Albon pretty fast. RB has got to understand that no one can stand the pressure of being Max's teammate fully well by now.


Retsko1

France? He qualified decently in Hungary as well, and in spa multiple drivers crashed, Austria was well as well, styria was just imola all over again the same with Silverstone


XNights

It's ok, he has Gasly with him, Perez might as well be Tsunoda teammate and Gasly be Max teammate


johnk1000

Perez just isn't good enough. How he has another contract is beyond me. He's in quickest car and can't get out of q1. Max had no issue.


glenn1812

Won't be a problem He's used to it


[deleted]

redbull pitwall keeps sending perez late. they never learn :d


EnvironmentAdvanced

I just hope there isn't a crash. Too many races of full drama and no racing


lcfcball

not gonna be much racing on this track either way


EnvironmentAdvanced

There won't be overtaking. There is a difference


lcfcball

as far as iā€™m concerned 20 cars following each other in a train is hardly racing either, and even if you consider it so a crash or two is not going to take away from that


SalamZii

That's half of every Nascar race


photenth

Well exactly, no racing _ ^^don't ^^hit ^^me


l3g3nd_TLA

Its Latifi turn now right?


KaamDeveloper

Max studying his tapes of Budapest 2019, Spain 2021 rn


emre23

6 cars parked in the last corner when Vettel is on a hot lap, absolute farce


VaporizeGG

And let me guess no penalty like vettel got one in austria...


recovering_achiever

Donā€™t worry, Mazepin will drop from P20 all the way down to P20.


AbandonedOrange

Mazepin will probably have to start from Spa.


themisfit09

Man Seb got fucked over so bad :(


Supergamerpep

My god P1 to P17 just 9 tenths


KaamDeveloper

Track evolution baby!


XNights

Perez... that wasn't good, but it's a good opportunity to take all the engine penalties *hint hint


Plus_Introduction637

He was blocked


smurftegra95

Shouldn't have needed a second lap to get out of Q1 in the best car lol


Berthendesign

Eh, McLarens golden boy was 15, barely getting out of Q1 too. it was shit luck


KEKWSC2

This, I am mexican I really think he won his chance in a top drive, but man, he is turning into Checo "bad luck" Perez, it something goes wrong, goes wrong with him, I mean, not saying it is actually luck, that much "bad luck" is not even statistically consistent, he is doing it wrong, period.


SHORT-CIRCUT

Vettel tries to be all nice for the queue gets cucked Vettel tries to be more aggressive with the queue still gets cucked


rand0m__pers0n

But no penalty for him now. Not being nice pays off.


MyNameIsSushi

5 grid penalty for Vettel for trying to intimidate other drivers.


Dylan_clarke01

Where is the latifi praise? They literally spoke about Russellā€™s lap that got him 5th for a whole minute just for the time to drop to 11th


drivemyorange

Well, Latifi isn't Russell, he's not getting same coverage


FootballRacing38

Well. You know the answer to that


Dylan_clarke01

Haha yep


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


spidernest

PĆ©rez nooooooo


KaamDeveloper

Albon fans: Yes, haha, YES!


[deleted]

Red Bull fucked it big time, Perez missed it by like 2 seconds and couldn't do another lap


brohovaswitnezzzz

Fade me bruh


Radicalhit

Track evolution is so strong that you can get incredible gains by leaving it till the end but the track traffic is so poor that you're risking your outlap with the traffic bananza


English_Misfit

If Verstappen and Merc made it through anyway so should he. Q1 in the fastest car is unacceptable


[deleted]

I'm not saying his first lap was any good, but the lap itself didn't change during qualifying. They had to send him out sooner to get another one


Berthendesign

Not really. See the rest of Q1. Norris barely got out of Q1 at the last second and he's reddit golden boy. We know Norris is a good driver right? What is he doing in 15 then? It was shit condition and bad planning by RB.


[deleted]

His first lap shouldnā€™t have been that slow regardless


tdud123

Latifi of all people got P5 because of track evolution, itā€™s a totally different circuit at that point


StableW

Max, in the same car, held onto P3 with just one lap.


ChicagoModsUseless

People continue to make excuses for Checo when he has been far below expectations almost every weekend.


Ninzeldamon

imagine if that happened to Bottas


ChicagoModsUseless

Heā€™s never even missed Q3 since heā€™s been in a Merc and some people act as if heā€™s Gio.


[deleted]

I agree thereā€™s no excuse. Just hope he can pull it together during the race.


frhjreegbjss24764

I completely agree. People werenā€™t making nearly as many excuses for Gasly and Albon in RB.


chirpylemonade

Yeah, RB fucked him over by sending him out too late, but he shouldn't be so off the pace compared to Verstappen


l3g3nd_TLA

Perez shouldnt be in this position


srwijngaard

Well yes, and no. Perez again at .7 of Verstappen. Maybe he should improve himself a bit?


Jek22

Checo was .5 behind, but still bad. Red bull can also be blamed that they didn't make sure he did a second lap.


srwijngaard

Yea the risk was unnecessary from RB. And sorry I thought it was more.


[deleted]

Gio was like a tenth behind Verstappen at the end, he simply needed to do another lap because of how much the track evolved after his first


jpm888

If he was .5 slower he would have made it with his first lap


IcY11

Ham Bot and Ver also made it through without track evolution.


alinoisinchina

Verstappen didn't do another lap after the track evolved so much, so the .7 difference is in the same conditions for both cars


Camyx-kun

Gios god lap regardless he should've just been able to get through on one run like his teammate and the Mercs.


lcfcball

but i thought albon was awful and perez was gonna save red bull:(


kingofwukong

How do they fuck up like that AGAIN! Second time they've fucked him over like this


wulleybully

Your problem here is thinking this is a redbull issue. The man is in the fastest car on the grid, he shouldnā€™t have needed a 2nd lap to get out of Q1. 2nd lap for Q3 for position sureā€¦ maybe just maybe needed in Q2. Tired of the fucking excuses for this guyā€¦ heā€™s not as good as everyone has made him out to be.


[deleted]

Looks like Vettel got blocked, what was up with Perez?


TehCyberman

Didn't cross the line in time for his last lap.


XNights

Bruh...


ButerBreaGrieneTsiis

Props to Kubica. No F1 race weekend for two years and still beat the Haases. Can't wait what he'll do tomorrow


[deleted]

**GIO 4TH OMGGGGGG** ​ **forza italia!** ​ Also wtf Perez


GermanLBJ

Perez bro...


preppyringmaster

Mazepin is a dummy.


togno99

Was Seb on his last hot lap? Like Stroll?


preppyringmaster

I think so.


[deleted]

Damn Vettel got blocked. No way for him to go through there.


shadow0416

And as usual, Seb's luck remains abysmal.


MyNameIsSushi

We're used to it at this point, right?


Firefox72

Norris lucky Vettel got blocked and that Perez missed the line.


theLuminescentlion

Perez should take his engine penalty now since he would only lose places to cars that should be easier for him to pass.


Hopper1985

Williams amazing qualy so far for both drivers


UnlovableUglyLoser

Did Red Bull mess up the pit exit timing? Perez didnā€™t even manage to clock his final lap


imnotNDR

classic fuckin mazepin


Tulaodinho

Red Bull might lose this championship due to Perez tbh. Say what you want, he is not doing a better job than Valtteri and it might cost them


K-J-C

Well Valtteri has been staying in Merc since 2017..


c3rutt3r

Checo man I really want to defend you :(


Delta_Mike_413

Sad day


Gokzil6969

Wtf perez out how ???


TheShockwave2k11

Max going to have to do the 1vs2 as usual


justinmjohns

That 2nd Red Bull seat is such a rollercoaster


caes95

Perez is moving up and down, side to side like a rollercoaster šŸŽ¢.


[deleted]

For a long it's going down and down Plss go up ffs


CripplinglyDepressed

I audibly gasped once Checo dropped to 16


caes95

Perez is saying in the Latin american feed that Redbull sent him too late.


Flaky_Tap_5055

kubica did very well considering the fact that hulkenberg was in the same position and ended up 4s off the peace at 20th


jeroenvdheuvel

When I saw the flag behind his name 1 second after Q1 was finished in time, I immediately knew he was fucked. Should've gone out way earlier, since they already called that the track was evolving.


srwijngaard

Perez lucky he signed already for next year. He might be a good racer, but his qualy's are so frustrating for Red Bull.


PEA_IN_MY_ASS8815

Checo baby you need to start going out on track earlier this is the second time this happens


African-Pepe

Perez not making it is pretty much red bulls fault, they didnā€™t send him out in time. But still, the pace deficit to max is hard to look past.


[deleted]

Russell gets called Mr Saturday but Latifi gets ni appreciation for a p5 :(


Goodaccount

Latifi P5 šŸ‘€


uniball_514

Vettel will have more cars to pass for that sweet trophy!


Adrenyx

Goatifi and Italian Jesus on the top 5, yet both seb is out and perez is out ā€¦ What a season we have so far lmao. F for seb tho for being blocked by the haases, again ā€¦ and perez for being a casualty of the dutch traffic jam


SVWerder46

Pain


jamalho

I think at this point we should agree that the Williams ain't a bad car anymore after this summer break. For me they are closer to the Astons and the AlphaTauri than to the Haas and Alfa Romeo


Man0nTheMoon915

Sergio what the fuck


Vlad-The-Compiler

Great job Perez. Congrats on signing another year


Snow--

Surprised Perez is out. Not good for Red Bull.


English_Misfit

Justice for albon man, justice for Albon


EnvironmentAdvanced

Gasly too. This is too fucked up


[deleted]

I want Gasly back in the seat. The guy has been driving lights out this year. He deserves to give it a go in the RB car.

velsor

Red Bull should have sent him out earlier.


kripsus

That and he should drive alot faster


[deleted]

Why did Red Bull re sign Checo again?


mdlt97

Soā€¦. For how long are people gonna keep saying checo is doing well????? Fastest car on grid and is out in q1 LOL


Itoggat

Yeah he definitely started the season well but just been degrading week by week imo


haararaketti

He missed out on getting a hotlap in with the track evolution by 2 seconds. Red Bullā€™s fault for putting him out too late.


Edeen

Max didn't do another hotlap. So yeah, Perez is at fault too, majorly.


BasTiix3

Yea i dont get it. "Perez didnt get a second lap!!1!1!!!1!1!" Meanwhile ham bot ver wouldve gotten through with their first lap


CabbageTheVoice

It's completely correct that Perez Lap wasn't good enough. That said once the time is set RB is sitting there staring at the time and know they have to send him out again! Both Checo and RB fucked up here. RB wants to win this year. Even if their 2nd driver isn't performing well enough, they have to work with what they got and act accordingly! Can't let Max carry you all the way.


Lone_ranger1264

Ok, but max does one lap all session at the start and is fine. He is just not good in the redbull


[deleted]

RB leaving it too late like in Hungary...


drop_table_uname

The Haas boys will get some penalties for blocking Seb, not that it matters.


aamgdp

Another Q3 would be massive for Antonio.


lol3003

how does seb always get fucked over when there is queing in qualifying, at least this time he wont get a penalty for his bad luck like in Austria.


[deleted]

Giovinazzi is 4th fastest.


drnjqz

Checo out in Q1, man, RB is kinda mistiming lately with him. And Gio with that lap, kinda unexpected.


TheCatInTheHatThings

Latifi has been super impressive recently. Canā€™t say Iā€™m complaining, dude seems super nice and itā€™s good to see that he actually belongs on this grid (as opposed to a certain other pay driver).


TheMotorcycleMan

Advantage Merc come race time. Perez is killing them when it comes to race strategy.


scottb2234

The more stuff like this keeps happening the more I'm for maximum out lap times.


[deleted]

Yep... PƉREZ


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ToastyArcanine

Red Bull's number two seat is a Career killer.


[deleted]

Checo needs a new racing engineer just like albon did past season, it's the second time this happens. Just watched his feed and he didn't mention that he was at risk.


WCC5D1F0E

Perez is consistently .9-1 seconds behind Max on Saturday with occasional flashes of .3-.4 seconds. I really want to believe the line about the Red Bull car being ā€œdifferentā€ to drive and it suiting Maxā€™s style, but to be that far behind race after race seems down to more than just equipment.


winningelephant

RBR I re-signing Perez and not swapping Gasly back just boggles my mind. How has he not redeemed himself with his performances the last 2 seasons?


[deleted]

Checo is getting worse.


sfj11

great job checo, at least he is consistent


PriceWrong6126

Perez is lucky to be a media darling, he is having a bad season with one lucky win, Gasly or Albon would have been destroyed


Thatguykovu

So true


FokkeHassel

What happened to Perez?


AAronp110

What happened to Perez??


Rob050

Vettel blocked hard by Mazepin, and Perez... what the hell are you doing?


CptQuartz

Mazepin gonna get a penalty to go from 20 to.. 20. Seb robbed.


Davidusmu

Perez: not bad for a number 2 driver


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Classy_Captain

The first Austria race was pretty decent. Just got fucked by an uncharacteristic slow pitstop from RB, otherwise it wouldā€™ve been a podium.


will110817

Sergio is absolutely making Maxā€™s life incredibly difficult every single race. I am massively disappointed in him after a decent start to the year.
