Perez 'regrets' post-Brazil GP comments aimed at Verstappen

Image
Sergio Perez has admitted that he regret s his comments that were aimed at Max Verstappen in the aftermath of Red Bull's team orders controversy. Following Verstappen's refusal to let Perez by for P6 in the Brazilian GP, the Mexican responded by saying on the team radio that everybody would see Verstappen for 'who he really is'. Perez was just as frustrated in the media sessions after the race, adding that he believed he deserved more from Verstappen after playing the role of 'number two' driver in his time with Red Bull. Speaking ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Perez was asked by RacingNews365 whether or not he would retract his Brazil radio comments if he could. "Yes, obviously Formula 1 is a very emotional sport, and there is no other sport where you can hear yourself live, it's only in Formula 1 that this happens," Perez responded. "There are a lot of emotions going on in a lot of things that you say. "I obv...

Albon regrets missed opportunity after Monza health scare

Alex Albon feels that he missed out on his main opportunity to score points in the 2022 F1 season after being forced to sit out the Italian Grand Prix due to health issues. The British-Thai driver was treated for appendicitis at a local hospital on the Friday of the Monza event, with Nyck de Vries stepping in to the Williams on his behalf for the rest of the weekend. It was later revealed that, after undergoing surgery on the Saturday morning, Albon had been placed in intensive care overnight following complications which led to respiratory failure. He recovered in the days that followed and was able to return to the UK during the week, as well as being back in action at the next Grand Prix on the calendar in Singapore. While Albon is satisfied with much of his debut campaign with Williams , he still feels some regret over not being able to participate at Monza. Albon reflects on missed o...

Why Steiner has no regrets about previously dropping Magnussen

Guenther Steiner insists that he has no regrets about dropping Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean in favour of two rookie drivers for 2021, despite the team having now reverted to a more experienced line-up. At the end of 2020, Haas opted to bring in Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin for the following season, giving both their debut in F1 . The team sacrificed their 2021 car in order to focus on preparing for the new technical regulations in 2022, meaning that both rookies failed to score points in uncompetitive machinery. Mazepin was dropped ahead of the 2022 campaign following Russia's major military attack on Ukraine, and Magnussen made a surprise return to fill his seat. Schumacher remained but has lost his place at the squad for 2023, with Nico Hulkenberg making a comeback to race alongside Magnussen. Steiner doesn't regret rookie line-up While Haas now have two veteran ...

When he eventually calls time on his Formula 1 career, there will be one question on everyone's mind about Fernando Alonso : Could he have won more than two world titles? TheFOXposts.Com has previously looked at all the failed career moves in Alonso's career that ultimately contributed to his lack of championships, including the ill-fated attempts to revive the Honda glory years with McLaren and his efforts to bring regular titles back to Ferrari. Only recently has everything come together for Alonso following his two-year sabbatical, which saw him return to Alpine and then subsequently leave for Aston Martin due to the contract situation at the French team. The move to Aston Martin turned out to be one of the better ones in his career, as the Spaniard is back achieving regular podiums - something he hasn't done since prior to the hybrid F1 era.
