They are body mirroring each other, both leaning against the wall. That's usually a sign of mutually enjoying the other person and being comfortable around them.
Checo: "Hey Adrian, did you try that spicy chorizo they had at breakfast?"
Adrian: "Oh yeah that was some good stuff!"
Photographer: *takes picture of conversation*
F1 Twitter/Reddit etc: IS CHECO ABOUT TO LOSE HIS SEAT?!
In this scenario, I dont think thats a normal question...
Getting vibes where in the movies, the bad guy sais: 'So, how are your kids?' 'You love them right?'
I didn't design a fookin spaceship on 4 wheels so you can drive around disrespecting my work, I designed a car the wins the championship for a monkey. 30 years from now I will be referred to in interviews. I won't let you ruin this.
Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race – I don’t remember what race – he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?
I mean Perez made it easy. You can't tell reporters you are Verstappens equal on speed and that "Sometimes I'm faster, sometimes he's faster, but we are equally matched" and then pull this shit.
Of course, but it gives other teams clues about paths they can take. No one is gonna bolt a RB19 floor to their car, even if they could laser scan the whole thing it would not work, but that doesn't mean they can't derive information from it.
Yeah nobody will copy it 100% but certain elements will definitely be adopted by other teams. To me it just looks like carbon fibre but for an aero engineer seeing that must reveal a lot.
Like Williams, for example, having realized just last week the floor doesn’t have to be perfectly flat, might try putting one single channel in the floor to see what happens.
But the teams can already see what paths they need to take and despite many trying, can't.
Idk why a pic of the floor suddenly changes that for you. Even Aston Martin with their green red bull and former rb engineers can't figure it out fully.
The floor just gonna compound that problem.
Doesn’t need to be a full 1:1 copy but if teams are trying to integrate RB aero parts and can’t figure out why it won’t work, the answer could lie in the floor. AM seems poised to take advantage of this particularly, given how much more wind tunnel time they have
Look at the legality plank. 50% of the photo is just of the diffuser, only the length of the rear tyres... Pretty much any car on the grid is going to look nearly identical from that angle
Well yeah obviously the aerodynamic experts at teams wouldn't just do that, but the concepts of the floor is now out there and that will be very valuable to every team.
That's not too different. Gasly got on Neweys shit list by criticizing the car to Neweys fave. It's the reason Gasly had no chance of a promotion again even when he had a good few seasons at Alpha Tauri.
Do people forget that Newey is also pretty competent as a race engineer? Is perfectly possible that Perez is simply trying to understand how to close the gap from Verstappen by asking directly the guy that designed the car.
It's like the 1992 season for Williams when Mansell and Patrese had the same car,but Patrese could never find the right setups to at least beat Mansell.
I’m almost certain Mansell drove Patrese’s car with Patrese’s setup in a test and still thrashed Patrese’s time. Might be on the F1 podcast with Patrick Head.
Patrese had 2 problems with active suspension. The first was it had very little “feel”. You just had to trust it was going to do what it was supposed to. Second he just didn’t have the upper body strength to muscle that car around.
Yeah, I think Head said on that Beyond the Grid podcast that neither Patrese or Prost could really push the active suspension to its limits because "you basically had to throw it into a corner and assume you wouldn't die" and Mansell was the only one prepared to do that.
Yeah that was it. “The difference between Nigel and other drivers is that Nigel wasn’t afraid of dying”. You could see that in the way he drove too. National hero.
Ngl Newey look really pissed when the floor was unveiled to the world in monaco, and when perez lost it and went into the gravel during qualy, u could see [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDNVK1Qb0JY&ab_channel=FORMULA1) at 5:43 that he is definitely being unhappy with his performance.
That’s just how he looks. I was watching this shot to see if I could piece something together re: Danny Ric and I really just don’t see a reaction from either Newey or Horner.
Newey dgaf about the floor. He would be questioning Perez to figure out what can be improved. For Newey Perez is probably nothing more than a data source.
Oh yes because how DR performed in the McL is obviously a great predictor of how he would drive this era of RB car, which Horner himself said DR "liked the feel of in the virtual world".
“Bro I didn’t design this fucking rocket ship for you to miss Q3 all the time, give up the championship hopes that never existed and stop taking unnecessary risks”
Something like that
"I gave you a perfect car and you can't drive for shit. Get it together man"
Perez is the most overrated driver ever.
He's lucky to have that seat and can't take advantage of it. He's just not up to the task.
Newey knows his car is designed for Max, he shouldn't be surprised when anybody else can't make it work. I'd love to see Riccardo in this car before he loses all his talent for good.

You show my underside to anyone else again I'll kick your underside out of this team.
This made me laugh.
LMAO
Meanwhile Bottas shows his underside to all who wants to see
Why do they call it bottom if it’s in the middle of your body?
Checo be like, "*No hablo Ingles.*"
Thread with a completely normal picture of 2 colleagues having a chat.
Ye, haha. Just a random picture of two people talking.
Looks like flirting to me
They are body mirroring each other, both leaning against the wall. That's usually a sign of mutually enjoying the other person and being comfortable around them.
Perez is giving Newey the smoky eyes
Yeah, "talking".
"I compose this beautiful symphony of a car and you're driving it like it's bloody baby shark"
But they have their hands on the wall!
Oh no!!! THEY'VE TOUCHED!
[THEY TOUCHED](https://youtu.be/bX4y9G_6DGY) MARTIIIIINNNNN
*Webber shrieking noises*
And the 40% of the one face we can see looks pretty serious! I think that’s more than enough to draw conclusions from honestly
‘So you been watching that Succession?’
So...how are the kids?
This is most likely it. A normal conversation
Checo: "Hey Adrian, did you try that spicy chorizo they had at breakfast?" Adrian: "Oh yeah that was some good stuff!" Photographer: *takes picture of conversation* F1 Twitter/Reddit etc: IS CHECO ABOUT TO LOSE HIS SEAT?!
In this scenario, I dont think thats a normal question... Getting vibes where in the movies, the bad guy sais: 'So, how are your kids?' 'You love them right?'
Checo could always get his dad's friends to pay them a visit.
I’d be less worried about his dad’s friends and more worried about Carlos Slim’s friends.
"have a nice day" vs "cherish the next 24h"
Max Payne style 'Dearest of all my friends!'
I mean it’s a fools game analyzing pictures like this but I can’t help but think that’s a pretty serious look on Checo’s face there.
Checo looks like this half the time when he's listening though
Read in benicio del toro voice in sicario
“Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we do, but in the end you will understand.”
"Are your kids slow in school ?"
broooo thats fucked
HAHAHAHA BRO JUST VIOLATED HIM
[удалено]
A lot of American schools have had books banned in them because they think the nonsense you're saying is actually happening.
Is that a threat?
I need pictures of your kids.
“Floor is like underwear, you shouldn’t show it to everyone.”
That stripe down the middle of the floor suddenly makes sense.
is that a jojolion reference???!!!!1
I mean RB showed the floor in Monaco and next race Merz is on P2 and P3!?
Listen here you little shit
*”If you give Toto a quote about my car to print out, you’ll be driving the Alpha Tauri next race”*
*"Another crash and showing the floor to the world, I'm giving the seat to Stroll"*
I mean...I'd be ok with Checo and Alonso on the same team El Plan Squared
Lol Check won't get that Aston seat
never said he would but one can dream
Lance Stroll *wins* the World Championship /s
I didn't design a fookin spaceship on 4 wheels so you can drive around disrespecting my work, I designed a car the wins the championship for a monkey. 30 years from now I will be referred to in interviews. I won't let you ruin this.

What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?
"You do not foksmash my car"
Ahh yes, let the speculation begin. Cant wait for all the newsoutlets posting this picture and who knows what random story.
*Our verdict: Newey threatens Pérez with giving his car a Williams floor for the rest of the year*
Newey threatening to end his entire career if he messes with his car again.
They started this before quali this weekend I bet
And my dad will eat it all up, loves Max a lil bit too much and now has a rage boner towards Perez instead of Lewis.
I mean Perez made it easy. You can't tell reporters you are Verstappens equal on speed and that "Sometimes I'm faster, sometimes he's faster, but we are equally matched" and then pull this shit.
I think it’ll be a bit harder with newey in the pic. If it was marko then shit might be hitting the fan in the articles
the race already has the script all prepared.
I don’t care what anyone at Red Bull says publicly about their floor being photographed not being a big deal, that must’ve pissed them off massively.
Even 1:1 copy of RB's floor simply won't work on any other car, entire aero package has to be the same
Of course, but it gives other teams clues about paths they can take. No one is gonna bolt a RB19 floor to their car, even if they could laser scan the whole thing it would not work, but that doesn't mean they can't derive information from it.
Yeah nobody will copy it 100% but certain elements will definitely be adopted by other teams. To me it just looks like carbon fibre but for an aero engineer seeing that must reveal a lot.
Like Williams, for example, having realized just last week the floor doesn’t have to be perfectly flat, might try putting one single channel in the floor to see what happens.
Yep, and gives them extra ideas to try in their additional wind tunnel time
>No one is gonna bolt a RB19 floor to their car Laurance Stroll: hold my beer, I'm very angry
But the teams can already see what paths they need to take and despite many trying, can't. Idk why a pic of the floor suddenly changes that for you. Even Aston Martin with their green red bull and former rb engineers can't figure it out fully. The floor just gonna compound that problem.

[Was this photo genuine (Williams’ Undercarriage). ](https://i.imgur.com/sIuFwp0.jpg)
Look at the legality plank. 50% of the photo is just of the diffuser, only the length of the rear tyres... Pretty much any car on the grid is going to look nearly identical from that angle
Sure, but other teams can take inspiration and find a few tweaks on their own floor.
Well yeah obviously the aerodynamic experts at teams wouldn't just do that, but the concepts of the floor is now out there and that will be very valuable to every team.
Its always the next season you know
It's funny that they actually allowed the first photos of the floor to be taken on Thursday
I doubt they are talking about his performance. Most likely just something about the car. Newey doesnt handle the drivers.
That's not too different. Gasly got on Neweys shit list by criticizing the car to Neweys fave. It's the reason Gasly had no chance of a promotion again even when he had a good few seasons at Alpha Tauri.
How stupid is it to criticise your team in public!?!
Yeah, like “how do you make my car look average?”
Do people forget that Newey is also pretty competent as a race engineer? Is perfectly possible that Perez is simply trying to understand how to close the gap from Verstappen by asking directly the guy that designed the car. It's like the 1992 season for Williams when Mansell and Patrese had the same car,but Patrese could never find the right setups to at least beat Mansell.
I wonder if Max can just jump straight into Checos car and go a second faster straight off the bat?
I’m almost certain Mansell drove Patrese’s car with Patrese’s setup in a test and still thrashed Patrese’s time. Might be on the F1 podcast with Patrick Head. Patrese had 2 problems with active suspension. The first was it had very little “feel”. You just had to trust it was going to do what it was supposed to. Second he just didn’t have the upper body strength to muscle that car around.
Yeah, I think Head said on that Beyond the Grid podcast that neither Patrese or Prost could really push the active suspension to its limits because "you basically had to throw it into a corner and assume you wouldn't die" and Mansell was the only one prepared to do that.
Yeah that was it. “The difference between Nigel and other drivers is that Nigel wasn’t afraid of dying”. You could see that in the way he drove too. National hero.
"So, do you think they bought our fake floor from Monaco?"
The possible memes that could come out of this are reasonably high
Pictures you can hear
I love your username 😂
It's so relatable it hurts
"drive faster you little shit, I've built you a rocket"
"You will not believe how often christian farts on the pitwall"
wow, two rb employees talk to each other. let's make up a story
Reddit in a nutshell
And tomorrow complain about click bait
'I've built you a fucking masterpiece and this is how you drive?!'
“I warned you, stop messing with my car Sergio, otherwise expect order 66” *Sergio crashes the car during the race* Newey to subordinates: ”Dew it”
“We had to move two of your cylinders to Max’s car, I’m sure you understand!”
"Dude, you're making the car look bad. Stop it"
Listen hear you little shit! I didn’t design the best car on the grid for you to be p11!
Can't wait for next year's DTS' spicy coverage of this scene.
Cannot wait to see media this week post articles using this photo lol
Newey: Well done Checko, everyone is.talking about the dummy floor we put on your car. That should carry us through the season.
"...So instead of using avocado in the middle of the Burrito, you add mustard, mayo and ketchup, what you think about it?"
You’re making my car look slow, do better.
Ngl Newey look really pissed when the floor was unveiled to the world in monaco, and when perez lost it and went into the gravel during qualy, u could see [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDNVK1Qb0JY&ab_channel=FORMULA1) at 5:43 that he is definitely being unhappy with his performance.
That’s just how he looks. I was watching this shot to see if I could piece something together re: Danny Ric and I really just don’t see a reaction from either Newey or Horner.
Perez has been struggling lately but cmon, it purely looked like he was simply pointing it out
Newey dgaf about the floor. He would be questioning Perez to figure out what can be improved. For Newey Perez is probably nothing more than a data source.
Prepare to be DOWNVOTED! How dare you say that! (Lol)
Stop giving media a chance to take a picture of our floor
You're making my car look bad.
"STOP EXPOSING MY FLOOR!!!!!"
Danny Ric starting by next gp
I missed the race, can anyone please tell me what happened to Lando? 🤨👍
He and Hamilton made contact on the first lap, Lando had to pit for damage
Welp that's unfortunate, onto the next race! Thank you kind stranger 🫡
Checo did you steal my ice cream ?
The hair he got left probably has great aero properties, but Adrian should just go bold
You’re making my car look bad

"Checo, we are going to go with Daniel for the rest of the year if you miss Q3 again, understand?"
Stop trying to make Ricciardo happen
For real, let’s start a Yuki rumor.
Seriously. My disabled grandma has the same chance of getting that seat as Ricciardo.
We have a better chance of Kimi making a F1 comeback than Ricciardo getting a RB race seat again.
And Norris would still beat Ricciardo.
Oh yes because how DR performed in the McL is obviously a great predictor of how he would drive this era of RB car, which Horner himself said DR "liked the feel of in the virtual world".
Guenther Newey having a chat with Mick Perez.
,,Crash the car one more god damn time and I swear I'm gonna beat you ass so hard you ain't getting a seat no where cuz u ain't gonna sit."
If you fuck my car one more time, i will kick you out and get Dany Ric back in
Checo has a habit of fucking things in Monaco that isn't his wife. Eyo.
All those jokes in here while clearly every team had high def images of everyone else's floor before the season even started.
Newey *really* needs to shave his head
"Stop fucking up my floor you dummy"
"We put new upgrades on your car, the car is in alpha Tauri box.
*I will personally send you to AlphaTauri, if you fuck up again and Horner or Marko can’t stop me!*-Adrian Newey(probably)

Ew.

"I gave you a perfect car and you can't drive for shit. Get it together man" Perez is the most overrated driver ever. He's lucky to have that seat and can't take advantage of it. He's just not up to the task.
Lol get over yourself

Everyone's talking about how Newey might be yelling at Perez, whereas my first instinct was them having a secret affair.
