Nice to see rookies together in their first press conference. Especially the promising young prospects, Alonso and Hulk.

I'm an avid fan, watch a lot, keep up with a lot, yet when I see that post come by, I know it's real.

u/Jannl0 Lance Stroll Mar 01 '23
There's no reason for him to be in these interviews. He'll barely be at the track and probably won't drive in an official session unless someone is sick.

Looks like this year I won't need to keep track of the lack of Max & Daniel in the same group :(

u/Rosieu Spyder Mar 01 '23
At least we start the year with the emotional support rivals :')

u/SilentViper96 Sebastian Vettel Mar 01 '23
Thank you for giving this to me. I didn't realise this would be a thing since Ricciardo is in RedBull now essentially .

u/kolsonk Pirelli Hard Mar 01 '23
Oh yes, all the rookies in the first slot

u/antivirals_ 70th Anniversary Mar 01 '23
they just wanna throw that "Fernando, you made your first F1 race entry a month before Piastri was born, who between the two of you do you think will be rookie of the year come December?"
29
u/Potential-Machine396 Sebastian Vettel Mar 01 '23
The rookies and the oldest guy in the group.

u/pranay909 Max Verstappen Mar 01 '23
Nico isnāt that old. /s

u/dianesmoods Lando Norris Mar 01 '23 edited Mar 01 '23
Well, he is the same age as Seb, and he retired, so.. ;)
2
u/guywhoishere Aston Martin Mar 01 '23
But he is the 3rd oldest. It's Alonso, then 3.5 years younger is Hamilton, then 2.5 years younger is Hulk.

u/pranay909 Max Verstappen Mar 01 '23
Heard about sarcasm? And everyone knows alonso doesnāt age and Lewis isnāt in that group!

The tension between TBC and Hamilton will be very exciting to watch

u/storme9 Yuki Tsunoda Mar 01 '23
Interesting round 1 of team personnel is TPs and round 2 is TDs. All good choices though from the news weāve been hearing on testing.
30
u/Firefox72 Ferrari Mar 01 '23
Well the F1 media manager certainly does not expect Aston to fight at the front i see.
RB, Ferrari, Mercedes and Alpine driver in the same press conference and then you have Alonso in the other one haha. Feels like a missed oportunity if your already gonna have 4 drivers from teams expected to be top 5 you might aswell make it 5/5.
13
u/kaklaman Fernando Alonso Mar 01 '23
Ig it's all the drivers in a new team in the first one
4
u/Brooht Esteban Ocon Mar 01 '23
Gasly is also in a new team though
12
u/Mr_XemiReR Valtteri Bottas Mar 01 '23
It's the rookies (+ Hulk) and Alonso. There's always lots of excitement around the new drivers and goes without saying quite a lot of excitement around Alonso too

Clearly, they havenāt figured out Aston Martin is a top 3 team alongside Ferrari and Red Bull. Itās okay. They will change it for the Saudi Grand Prix.

Still AM have not finalized their driver for Bahrain ? Are they hoping for Stroll to miraculously get fit ?
24
u/Mike5667 Mar 01 '23
Apparently heās fit but he has to pass the FIA medical check tomorrow hence why heās not confirmed

u/EddieGrant Max Verstappen Mar 01 '23
I'm guessing he's at 99% and they'll do a final check tomorrow or before FP1 before deciding if he'll race.

As always, I'll have the Press Conferences posted in full quality on my reddit profile shortly after airing. So if you're wanting to watch them from me every race weekend, you can either follow my profile and wait for them shortly after it airs or just hover over my profile and I'll have them out :)

u/MikeRoss95 Ferrari Mar 01 '23
difference between TV pen and Press conference ?
3
u/Enzown Mar 02 '23
One is a press conference so all media and drivers are there same time and all hear each other's questions and answers. TV pen is where drivers are in an area and will speak one on one with tv crews around the outside of the area.
2
u/MikeRoss95 Ferrari Mar 02 '23
Alright, i thought everyone went to tv pen
3
u/Enzown Mar 02 '23
They do after quali and races cause they have to walk through the area, but this is Thursday so it's a chance for media to get their comments for previews of the weekend.

The banter that will ensue in that second press conference slot lolol

u/FaultySky Ferrari Mar 01 '23
TBC for Aston Martin due to the Stroll situation. Not up to date with the rules on that, given AM has known about Strolls situation for more then a week now, does that mean they have to appoint a replacement before the media session or could they technically postpone it to FP1 and skip the media session?
4
u/CakeBeef_PA Safety Car Mar 01 '23
I believe Stroll still needs to pass medical checks, so officially they don't know who is racing

u/Plastic-Sorbet-9743 Sebastian Vettel Mar 01 '23
I miss seeing vettels name here already

Can you imagine, the year he retires Aston Martin becomes a race winning contender. Hence, with Strullovich causing a mischief on his bike. Vettel was so eager to take his seat.

With the wording of First Three Finishing Drivers for Post race doesnāt this technically mean a lapped driver could be in instead of the top 3 finishers. I know that they arenāt doing that but based on the wording thatās what they would do

u/shreychopra Max Verstappen Mar 01 '23
So the rumours were correct, The Bee Caretaker will be driving for Aston this weekend! Welcome back Seb :ā)

They should switch it up a bit and do the post race interviews with 3 random drivers instead of the top 3

I don't understand the TP choices.
Why not Wolff instead of (with all due respect) Stella?

Nice of them to put all the rookies (and hulk) in the first slot.
