Fastest Pitstop

💥 Pedro de la Rosa: "The two drivers who have impressed me the most have been Hamilton and Alonso. Verstappen is probably the best in history"

👉 "Alonso? Go to any circuit in the world, and if Fernando had the first qualifying lap coming out of the pits cold, I can assure you that, with an equal machine, he'd be fighting up front. With the same car, he'd be battling Verstappen, 100%."

👉 "What I've always valued about Fernando is that he's the most adaptable of all. He did it with Michelin tires, Bridgestone, and with the temperature management of Pirellis."

👉 "Alonso could have won 8 titles without any problem. If he's in the right team, he makes it happen. But that's why I say judging drivers by titles is unfair."

👉 "With Hamilton, I'll always remember one moment. I was very impressed with his first test at Silverstone in an F1, because he was very fast in fast corners. It was something spectacular. And then, especially when we trained on very cold circuits."

👉 "I remember Hamilton's and Alonso's cars as very similar. The only thing was that Lewis liked a more direct steering than Fernando."

👉 "An Alonso car is tremendously reactive, with a very nervous front end. When people analyze Alonso's 'onboards,' many say he has understeer, but I always say the same thing: 'Don't look at the hands, look at the wheel.' Because the driver decides what kind of steering it has, faster, slower."

👉 "My 5 best F1 drivers in history? Schumacher, Hamilton, Fernando (Alonso), Verstappen, and Senna. But without ranking them."

🚨 A very reliable source confirms that Aston Martin's simulations show a 2-second improvement just with the chassis on the Hungary circuit

🆕 Since it's a package that will change the car and the weight, it will require several sessions to get the most out of it

👉🏻 A reasonable leap would be to overtake Cadillac and perhaps another backmarker team, thus entering the fight to reach Q2

📈 With the engine there would be another leap, and with more possible parts throughout the 2nd half of the season they could end up fighting for points

🚨 Checo Pérez: "I was completely ALONE at Red Bull"

"I had support up to a certain point. When I won, Horner and Marko were happy, but in the end they told me that the project revolved around Verstappen."

"Max was given the main engineers with experience. Everything went to him, but I already knew that before signing with Red Bull."

"There were years when I was on par with Max, but when the upgrades arrived, the gap with Verstappen grew quite a bit."

"Despite having had the team's support, Max is a tremendously complete driver. He has taught me to lead a team and to raise my level, even though I didn't have the right tools."

"When I left and they brought in the other drivers, they realized the work I had done during 4 years."
