Verstappen was told to let Perez through if he couldn't pass Alonso. He couldn't pass Alonso, but didn't let his team-mate through #F1 #BrazilGP
— Chris Medland (@ChrisMedlandF1) November 13, 2022
So today was the Brazilian grand prix, the penultimate grandprix in the F1 calendar as they move to the progressive nation of UAE (Abu Dhabi GP) for the final one.
As it Stands the last year's world champion Max Verstappen, a Dutch fella managed to win the championship couple of races ahead, even if he doesn't race for the rest of the races or gets zero points, it doesn't matter as no one can mathematically pass him points wise in the remaining races.
Max's victory last year was a whole fricking shitshow where the FIA managed to frick up a lot of shit and people were canned and what not. Its a whole thread for itself. You can check the highlights of the race here:
Anyway Max is a TWO time world champion now. Doesn't need to care about his position or points. It was an exciting race today, with some crucial crashes and safety cars at crucial times.
His Teammate is Sergio "Checo" Perez, who has been his team mate last year and was crucial in Max getting the championship in 2021. In the highlights above you can see @ 3:26. Max even tells his team "Checo is a Legend!" for holding back Lewis Hamilton ( <== he looks exactly like this btw). He even attained the nick name Mexican Minister of Defence for his drive in that last race clutching Max his championship.
Currently in the Drivers championship standing, there is close battle between two drivers, Ferrari's Chuck Leclerc, and Redbull's Checo Perez. So you see, getting as many points in this race is crucial for both of them. Chuck got torpedoed by a twitch streamer in the race and kinda got lucky with the strategy (I am shocked the Ferrari 🤡🤡🤡s didn't mess up this time) and safety cars and was in 4th place and Checo got unlucky with the strategy and ended up behind is teammate max in 7th place. max was 6th and Checo was 7th in the last couple of laps.
Coming today's race Max doesn't need any more points as I said, and Checo needs as many as possible to make his fight for 2nd place easier. Since Chuck Leclerc was already in 4th it was a lot of difference. You see 6th place get 8 points, 7th gets 6 and 4th (Leclerc) gets 12 points. So Checo was set to lose 6 points to Leclerc if he finished in 7th.
The Redbull Team then orders Max to give the 6th place to Checo if he doesn't manage to pass anyone ahead. Well Max didn't manage to pass anyone ahead of him and didn't give his 6th place to Checo. Checo ended up 7th gaining only 6 points instead of 8.
When asked What THE FRICK NEIGHBOR WHAT HAPPENED. The dutchman clearly explains, "I told you guys already, you don't ask that of me again, are we clear about that?" See the radio interaction below.
This obviously upset a lot of people, how can MAX be SUCH A PEEPEE to Checo when Checo was the one who helped Max get his championship last year! Shits flinging off in /r/formula1 and /r/formuladank where the fan wars have begun. Some Max fans are coping he couldn't have since Checo was 4 seconds behind!!. This was demonstrably false considering the radio interaction of Max with the team.
Then later they release the radio of Checo with the team where you can hear Checo Saying "It shows who he really is."
Well everyone is already at this point in the groomercords, twitch chat, shit was popping off. People are turning on Max, even the people who supported him turning on him, max fans are battling hordes of people saying "WHAT A PEEPEE MOVE!!" Max was the saviour for many people ending the Dominant 7 year reign of Lewis Hamilton. Literally all the world except the bongs wanted Max to win last year and have been supporting him since.
NOW THE PLOT TWIST STARTS
Apparently CHECO being the cheeky Mexican he is crashed INTENTIONALLY in this years MONACO GRANDPIX QUALIFYING so that Max wouldn't get the pole, (see the highlights, timestamped below). This was apparently known knowledge in the scene but never publicly shared until the commentator alluded to why max would do what he did was because of Monaco Qualifying crash.
Now apparently Checo after crashing confessed his sins as a good Christian to Christian horner and MEGA GIGA SHIT STIRRER Helmut Marko who must have to told Max or something. Anyway here is the proof
It is correct what @TomCoronel just said at ViaPlay. Perez deliberately crashed in qualifying in Monaco and later admitted it to Helmut Marko and Christian Horner. Max Verstappen has not forgotten that.

Shits still being stirred Drama being created, tomorrow the tabloids are going to be fun and I cant wait to see fan meltdowns and fights. This is the time for Team LH to rise and shit talk Max fans as much as possible, I hope they do it.
Checo was interviewed after the race and he had to say this
" Yes. I'm very surprised, I don't know what happened. Especially after all I've done for him, no? I think that... I don't understand his reasons, and very surprised. I think that if he has two championships it's thanks to me."
The interview is in some Texan language but here is the translation
Q - Okay Checo, hard weekend, safety car, you are left with the mediums, and sadly P7. Bad for the championship fight but still on the fight with Leclerc
A - Yeah, sad that we lost so many points. Everything changed with the safety car. We had no more softs left and with such low temps I had no grip. I was a passenger. We got put in a hard spot, going from podium to P7.
Q - Yesterday issues were still there, with the deg. It looked like suffering.
A - Specifically with the soft I think we were good. Equal to Ferrari, but the Mercs were ahead. With the mediums we were very bad.
Q - At the end the team told Max to give back the position, but he was fighting with Alonso, and it didn't happen. Maybe it would have been right (to give back the position)?
A - Yes. I'm very surprised, I don't know what happened. Especially after all I've done for him, no? I think that... I don't understand his reasons, and very surprised. I think that if he has two championships it's thanks to me.
A bonus Clip of Chuck Leclerc begging his team to swap positions with his team mate who was in a podium position (lmao it was worth a try at least)
I will be going to sleep today as this was great drama for me to sleep happily and have a smile on my face for work tomorrow!
I know you must be thinking, hey cyberdick! who do you support in all this?!
I was a Ferrari fan since 1998 and I have been contemplating roping myself every year since 2008. but I guess I gotta wait till Next Year™️

Sadly, the short era of Japan's street racing scene, particularly the Midnight Club top speed runs on the Wangan, and the era of Togue runs basically was over by 1991 when the Japanese economic miracle ended. That brief period of barely a decade is seared into car culture like a scar, and sadly will never come back.

Checo has the best gig in the world. If he didn't have the luxury of Max carrying the team, Pérez would be fired for regularly finishing P5 in the fastest car.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I don't disagree but the expectations on him are different because the second car HAS to be Max's dedicated b-word boy. And that combination of 'driven (lol) enough to be in F1' and 'willingness to be a b-word and play second fiddle for your career' is rare.
Obviously the dramapilled option is Checo out for someone even more competitive though, because God I want more Baku 2018/Spain 2016 style crashes because that's the best genre of crash.

Tbh a strange part of me mildly seethes at drivers who way underperform their teammate. I don't understand how Max keeps finishing a minute ahead of P2 yet Checo keeps dragging the car to P4 or worse. After Max smashed into Hamilton and got a 5 second penalty and needed his wing replaced, how the heck did Perez fall behind him in the first place?

The mediums were absolute dog shit after the safety car restart and Red Bull opted to keep Checo out. Seb also stayed out on the mediums and he dropped from 7th to out of the points.

Nope I believe Verstappen was on scrubbed softs. He may have been on new softs as he used the mediums in the sprint and had an extra set.

I’m confused, he crashed deliberately to make sure Max wouldn’t qualify? Before the Brazilian race?
Why? :marseycontused:
Or am I just misreading here?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
No, nothing to do with the brazilian race. Checo was in pos 3 (pos = position) and Max in Pos 4 for qualifying in monaco, this was way back in May 2022. In monaco grid position is very important because its almost impossible to pass other people on track as its a narrow city circuit. Allegedly checo crashed when max was on a fast lap which would have put max in pos 1 or pos 2 but because of the crash max ended up in pos 4 for qualify which fricked max's race up.

Thats the rumour going around, no one from the team officially confirmed it but looking at max's interview and other prominent journoids claiming its true along with the commentators. I guess its mostly true, that he did crash intentionally. This happened before with Michael schumacher in 2006 where he was penalized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Monaco_Grand_Prix#Qualifying

He pinned the throttle and didn't counter steer. Either mistake would be absolutely amateurish for anyone, never mind that Checo has been in F1 for like 15 years.
He definitely crashed on purpose.
