What picture. What picture. What a sequence. What a moment it was to see Sergio Pérez, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz go for interviews. Walk together on the asphalt. Enjoy after being the best of the classification of the GP of Miami. And yes, F1, competition of great Anglo-Saxon tradition, now speaks Spanish. Now he speaks more and more Spanish.
The three, Mexican, Asturian and Madrid, have a Latin accent In Miami. They put the show on trial, one weekend, which his second time in the World Cup He experienced something never seen before in the championship. Because there had never been any question of seeing, after a classification, three Spanish speakers during the following ceremonies on a Saturday.
Sergio Pérez took pole position. He did so by continuing his great performance in Azerbaijan. The Mexican presents himself as a candidate to win the World Cup, despite sharing a team with Max Verstappen. For now, after four races Australia makes the difference between the Red Bulls.
Verstappen and Leclerc, double errors
The Dutchman made not one but two errors in a row in what was to be his first lap in Q3. He didn’t finish it, and that caused the yellow flag, later red, which came out after Charles Leclerc’s accident meant he couldn’t set a single time. Ninth. Your partner, first.
The difference between Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll was older. Because the Canadian did not go beyond Q1 while the Asturian, always reliable, put Aston Martin in Q3. In the moment of truth, as always, zero failure.
With used soft tires, better than others with new ones. It is the second first line of the Asturian, but in Jeddah, he succeeded thanks to the sanction of Charles Leclerc.
The Monegasque was decisive for the outcome of the classification. Because after free practice 2 he made another mistake in the same place so that the session ended with 1:36 to go. He scored a lap, but not enough to beat Carlos Sainz. The Madrilenian, third. This is the first time he has achieved this in 2024.
And in Belgium…
Similar, more or less, will be the grid for the Belgian GP 2022. At Spa, where penalties are served, many are those who have penalized. Verstappen took pole position, to ahead of Carlos Sainz and Sergio Pérez. Fernando Alonso is sixth, behind Charles Leclerc and Esteban Ocon. Max, the Monegasque and the Frenchman were penalized, and the starting line was Sainz, Pérez and Alonso.
It is therefore the first time that during the ceremony after a classification so much Spanish is spoken… and considering how they do so much Pérez like Sainz and Alonso may not be the only ones.
