In sum: Sergio Perez says rivals who accused Max Verstappen of winning the world championship because of Red Bull’s capital budget breaches are “bad losers”.
in short
Other groups are ‘bad losers’ in spending limit violations.
Verstappen secured his second consecutive Drivers’ Championship win earlier this year. However, it was later confirmed that Red Bull exceeded last year’s budget cap of $145 million by $2.1 million. The group was fined $7 million and had its Climate Development designation terminated.
However, Perez insists Verstappen does not owe his success to Red Bull’s overspending. Speaking ahead of yesterday’s Brazilian Grand Prix, Perez told The Telegraph that Red Bull had not received any performance benefits and Max did not win the championship last year. “So it’s not fair for other teams to take that opportunity and try to make Red Bull look bad. And it shows they can be bad losers.
Alpine “a greater sense of security” – Okon
Alpine will enter the 2022 finals in a battle for fourth place in the championship with McLaren after their points haul in Brazil, Esteban Ocon said.
“I think we did everything today in terms of making the most of what we had,” he said. Ocon finished 16th on the grid and finished eighth, while teammate Fernando Alonso gained 12 positions to finish fifth.
“It’s a good day for the team, 14 points. The three-stop strategy used by Fernando was clearly worth taking today, but we did everything we could with two stops to get 14 points overall, which is bigger than McLaren and we can be very happy.
Norris saved a few points before retirement
Despite running as high as third at the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix, Lando Norris believes he was at his best to secure a lower order point before retiring with a technical problem.
“We were too slow, too easy like that,” he said. “I doubt we will finish with points at the end of the tournament. We might have finished 10th. But it was a shame that we didn’t even finish the tournament.

This traffic chaos at some #f1 venues this year is unacceptable. For the last 300m in Interlagos. An hour to get into the district would mean absolute organizational fines or absolute lack of it.

L needs stability. Max was wrong to do that, no doubt. But maybe there was a reason. He’s a really tough driver but mostly fair. There must be something we don’t know. (Btw the 5s penalty was unfair, Hamilton was also guilty).
