It was a significant event, avoidable if not for the double simultaneous error of judgment of two experienced Formula 1 drivers. Starting from a position near the end of the grid in the Red Bull RB20 (!!! ), Perez recklessly pushed Magnussen’s Haas into the barrier, while the Danish driver stubbornly continued to accelerate, trying to pass through a rapidly narrowing opening.
The aftermath of both pilots’ momentary lapses was captured on television for all to see. Hulkenberg was also unlucky to be involved in the incident, unable to avoid the debris caused by his competitors just half a kilometer from the start line.
In his summary of the Monaco Grand Prix for Speedweek, Marko predicted the financial impact of the damage to the #11 RB20: “Sergio Pérez had a costly accident on the first lap. It cost us between two and three million euros. This is a significant disadvantage due to budget restrictions. Damages like this directly affect our development budget.
“We are also uncertain about the condition of the gearbox and engine, which could result in additional penalties if we exceed the permitted quota. »
Regarding the incident itself, Marko admitted: “Pérez was on the racing line, and Magnussen took an optimistic approach. However, we must accept that the risk of accidents like this exists and that we must bear the financial burden. »
After a lackluster Monaco Grand Prix, where only one overtake took place, and that was for positions at the back of the pack, all drivers in the top ten retained their starting positions throughout the 78 laps of the race. the race.
Before the Monaco Grand Cortège, the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix began with an exciting first part, full of intense action and drama. It was the moment when Perez and Magnussen, as well as Alpine’s Esteban Ocon, made costly mistakes. Ocon thoughtlessly collided with teammate Pierre Gasly while entering the tunnel, leading to an incident that ended the race for Ocon. Amazingly, Gasly managed to escape unscathed and maintained his position in 10th throughout the race, securing the final point of the day. It was an unfortunate series of events for the Alpine F1 team.
Regarding the Ocon-Gasly incident, Marko shared his perspective, drawing parallels with similar situations in the past. He recalled instances at Red Bull Racing where teammates, such as Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in Baku in 2018, and Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in Turkey in 2010, collided. In both cases, the drivers were summoned by the team and discussed the problem openly. It was clear to them that such collisions with teammates were unacceptable. Ricciardo eventually left the team, and there were no further incidents involving Webber. They recognized that this behavior was not tolerable.
While many blamed Ocon for the incident, Marko remained cautious. He recognized the difficulty of taking action in such cases because clear intent would have to be proven, which was not the case here. The pilot’s claim that he misjudged the situation eliminates the element of intent. However, Marko stressed that the recurring nature of such incidents within the Alpine makes the situation even more difficult to address.
