Sergio Pérez in 2024 is equivalent to 4.8 million dollars in repairs after mishaps during races. The MostlyF1.com portal compiled the figures that F1 teams have had to pay in mishaps, where estimated prices for each part such as the front wing, suspension, tires, pontoons or other parts of the chassis are taken into account. Checo’s biggest impact came in an accident in Monaco, when Kevin Magnussen (Haas) rear-ended him and caused significant damage to his car.
Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s sporting advisor, said at the time that the damage in Monaco could force the Milton Keynes-based team to limit its spending in the final stages of the season: “This clearly affects us, because there are considerations that do with the car. This costs us between 2 and 3 million and, with the budget limit, that is of course a big disadvantage. If we have to do something more due to the greater competitiveness of Ferrari and McLaren, we will naturally be at a disadvantage. “.
Alexander Albon (Williams Racing) and George Russell (Mercedes) took second and third place for damage and repairs. Max Verstappen, who won his fourth consecutive title this year, despite his daring driving style, came in 15th out of 23 places. It resulted in low repair costs of $910,000.
In contrast to everything, only Pierre Gasly (Alpine) did not generate any expenses. This is a feat especially after having been a year with incidents in almost every race.
“We stayed at bay throughout the season and did not suffer any damage, so we achieved all three objectives. I am very happy to see the evolution and how the car has evolved. It really shows all the work and good work that the car has done. team throughout the season. It gives me confidence for next season,” said the Frenchman.
