padel double date 🤗
Miami GP '25 // P9 in Race
"I already knew on the first stint I was starting on a four-lap-used tyre, versus the others were on new tyres, and I knew this was gonna make me slower on the first stint, and vulnerable. On top of that, I picked up damage in Turn 3 with Alex at the start with slight contact... Still, tried to hold on for my life with obviously faster cars around me, and we were one of the first ones to stop. That gave a much shorter pit stop time to all the cars that stopped three laps later with the VSC... I tried to do everything to stay ahead of the Ferraris, but with a damaged car and...fresher tyres for them, it was very difficult. But, yeah, that's why I'm frustrated and, today, I feel like we should've scored bigger points." "Very happy and proud as a team to be fighting with the top four cars... Good news. We just need to keep going. There'll be tracks where we might have this opportunity again and I wanna be the first one to maximize it."
team torque launches straight into a dissection of the accessibility of podcasts over traditional interview in modern media due to the evolution of pop culture in case u guys were worried that Alex and Carlos were going to be normal

Yesterday I was pretty upset/disappointed yes, but my opinions come from the information I am given. We were told that Alex got information about staying behind Carlos but it turned out that he didn’t get that that information at all. So I’m not upset/ disappointed in Alex but the team for fucking up the communication.
They really need to do better, and I think they will. Sure they will probably fail more times but fighting like this is new for them.
Also even though Carlos had floor damage he kept up with the Ferraris. Imagine what he can do when it all goes right. Plus he started the race on used mediums while others started on new tyres.
Also the contact between Carlos and Alex on the first lap wasn’t Alex’s fault. With the speed he had and Carlos having to move out of the way for when Lando rejoined the track, he did what he could to try and get out of the way. Things like that are going to happen.
I will get upset and disappointed more times I am sure of that (at Carlos, Alex and Williams) but I will still be rooting for them.
Williams are treating Carlos a hell of a lot better than Ferrari did. The same goes for Alex. (Treating Carlos better than his last teammate) They do seem to have great chemistry together.
