Both are contracted for next season to their respective teams. I think Perez earns around £10m, he's not going to willingly swap into a car that seemingly can't now get into the midfield after some early podiums. So they'd probably have to pay Perez off to make it happen.

What would be in that for Red Bull? They're still likely to end up with a 1-2 in the Driver's championship, they'd have to pay Perez off, pay Alonso and still end up with a 1-2, plus Alonso realistically only has a year or two left in F1 so it just makes no sense.
Would love to see Alonso @ RB. Max has been strolling the championship for the past few years, bar the odd race, Perez has barely given him any trouble and is obviously number 2 at the team.

Would be amazing to see Alonso give him a run for his money. It would also be a much better indication as to where Max truly sits in the GOAT race. I know you'd have to caveat that with; the car has been developed for Max and is therefore far more suited to him but if Alonso could get a few early season wins it would be hilarious watching RB fall over themselves trying to justify backing Max as the team's number 1.

All that said, if they brought him in as a support drive that would suck balls.

What was Alonso doing turning left into Ocon 😂 He clearly knew he was coming because he moved out of the way in the first place.

It’s on both of them. There was no need for Alonso to turn left towards Ocon, it was an unnecessary risk.

I'm not sure why alonso steered to his left, even slightly, but that whole thing doesn't happen if ocon doesn't lose control of his own car.


no idea why perez stayed so wide on his flying lap there in sq3. I don't think he'd have got pole but there's a reason absolutely everyone else stayed to the left which gets to the line sooner.

Really enjoyed the sprint. Mercedes have to be concerned given how both cars tyres appeared to fall of quite badly.  You know when your car is chewing through tyres quicker that the Ferrari that you have issues.

Having the sprint race means you pretty much know what’s going it happen in the main race..

Which makes it a bit dull.

I completely avoid watching sprints for this exact reason.  Liberty Media introduced them to gain viewers - well it’s had the opposite effect for me.  Main quali and main race is all I care about.
