Ask r/Formula1 Anything - Daily Discussion Thread 2024 Qatar GP - Day After Debrief Sources: Sergio Pérez set to leave Red Bull (ESPN) [Autosport] Horner says Verstappen's penalty at the Qatar GP was based on "hysterics from George" When Verstappen scored his 44th win, Hamilton (car number 44) started pole and ended fourth. Now Verstappen scored his 63rd win, Russell (63) started pole and also ended fourth. Lando's comment on Zhou's celebration post [Alpine] Goodbye Esteban Ocon Verstappen is 10.5 points away from having scored double the points of Perez during their time as teammates, which is possible if Perez fails to perform in the final race. [RBJT Updates] If all these rumors are true this means that next year we'll have a full RBJT line-up for Red Bull and Racing Bulls [Thomas Maher] Franco Colapinto is off the table for Red Bull now, while the focus immediately after Abu Dhabi will be on the nature of the split with Sergio Perez. Leading contenders to replace are Yuki and Liam. [Alpine] TEAM STATEMENT: Jack Doohan will race at the Abu Dhabi GP in place of Esteban Ocon Perez Red Bull exit likely after Abu Dhabi F1 finale Following the official announcement from Alpine, all Alpine F1 drivers (including Oscar Piastri as reserve back then) from the early 2022 season has left the team from the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP onwards. Perez "knows what the situation is" as Red Bull exit set after Abu Dhabi GP P1 + fastest lap in Abu Dhabi and Verstappen may be only one point shy from scoring triple points as Perez [AutoRacer.it] Fred Vasseur on lost points in Qatar: “The plan was to go even longer on the mediums […] The reason for Carlos's puncture is only the debris, not excessive degradation […] We will enter Abu Dhabi with enormous motivation.” [Tom Gaymor] In IndyCar we see the caution thrown immediately for debris on ovals, cars are travelling at circa 200mph and striking debris could have catastrophic consequences. Given where this mirror was coupled with the cars doing 200mph, you would have expected the FIA to have acted immediately [Julianne Cerasoli] Regarding Verstappen's penalty in qualifying, Alonso had a good one: "If that's the case, I'll speed up towards my rival on my warm-up lap in Abu Dhabi and ask for him to be punished." [Thomas Maher] Nice moment in the media zone earlier as Liam Lawson sought Valtteri Bottas out to apologise for their collision - Lawson explaining he had managed to avoid a harder hit.
