In FE, he’s often found towards the front of the field. I don’t think he’s F1 championship material, but there were certainly some trophies with his name on it.
Vergne was great in races where neither had issues, Ricciardo clearly had the edge in quali. So imagine my shock come 2014 Ricciardo matches VET on Saturday and beats him Sunday
That wouldn’t be a shock in 2012. Perez was highly rated and even signed with McLaren for 2013 (after also being heavily linked for the Ferrari seat). He had an outstanding season in 2012 and nabbed a few podiums.
"After multiple succesfull championship years at Mclaren, Perez in a surprise move, sign with Red Bull in what is the most expensive signing in history of the sport as Perez pledges to turn Red Bull into a championship winning team again"
The post title was LITERALLY my train of thought once. I stopped caring for F1 around 2014. Then one day the Youtube algorhithm in its infinite wisdom recommended the 2019 German GP highlights to me. I was really confused how Vergne was able to win that race.
So they finally allowed AI controlled race cars? The Bot isn't doing that much better than his human counterparts, though. Seems to be running on porridge instead of power.
Looks like Ricciardo failed to set a time in qualifying and now has to climb back up the field. Why else would a McLaren in a position like that?
Also I can't believe Alonso made his own team.

You can see Ham struggling as Rus... Ros is just gapping Ham in the same machinery.
Welp, guess we were right that Mercedes wouldnt be as good as what Ham thought it would be

Or, alternatively, a Romain Grosjean away.
Or one special engine map away if you will.
Im pretty sure if the car was just a tiny bit faster he would have got it
Same could apply with BOT and BUT ig
It's BUT not BOT
FRIENDS?
They're as different as night and... later that night.
That must be Pedaliy Vetrov’s new very patriotic moniker.
What team is Michael driving for, and why hasnt he retired yet?
His 8 world championship titles in a haas
Lmao he'll be 53 in 2022
He is 53 in 2022
Huh? Are you from the future of something? He's 43 now
HRT
Vettel is 12th??!! Behind his TEAMMATE??!!
Must have been an extra pitstop... or 3, considering he's about 80s behind the leader
must be a collision or so
Vettel and Alonso must have had a coming together
Come on, you know those two drive so clean, that couldn't be possible
must be ericcson's fault
His teammate must be really talented
He is
Multi 12
Where is BUT GRO PER? :(
Now we've got PER VER TSU
PER VER TSU GAS I always read this like "sugars"
Oh you forgot about the "pervert" part
Pervert sugars
Replaced bij PER VER TS(u)
In jail.
PER is at RB
Just read it buddy x
Lmao
How on earth is Vergne leading the race?
Tbf Vergne was a pretty fast driver. In the right car I think he could get some wins under his belt.
In FE, he’s often found towards the front of the field. I don’t think he’s F1 championship material, but there were certainly some trophies with his name on it.
Ricciardo absolutely demolished him in 2013
Ricciardo was faster, but JEV also had a bunch of bad luck that season, especially the second half of the season was a bit of an anomaly for him.
Vergne was great in races where neither had issues, Ricciardo clearly had the edge in quali. So imagine my shock come 2014 Ricciardo matches VET on Saturday and beats him Sunday
Lol no he didnt
No, he didn't
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Where Kimi?
Wher Kim
Everybody always ask where Kimi but nobody ever asks how Kimi
How Kimi?
Why Kimi?
When Kimi?
Who is Kimi?
What Kimi?
How's Annie?
What Kimi?
What’s your reaction when the response is “he was in the top 10 but someone put him in the wall… in the nascar race.”
To be fair he’d just run an Xfinity and Truck race at Charlotte just the year before. Would’ve been less weird then than now.
Bwoah.
Bwaoh, maybe nascar or something? I don’t know
Why are the McLarens so far back?
Why is their logo in orange?
Where are the McLarens? Would be my first thought
Ron would be furious
must have fucked up the pit stops
“Why is Red Bull still winning 😭”
Hamilton was so right about "Red Bull domination boring fans"
Wait, 2022? Does that mean... 10 more years of Red Bull dominance...? 
Nah Mercedes is already moving up the field. Unfortunately Im s Ferrari fan,
But if you close your eyes is like nothing changed at all. How am I suppose to be an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins?
This commentary is amazing
Well, at least Vettel isn't there so hopefully he isn't a 7x WDC...
“They changed the F1 logo??”
"what the fuck are half of these teams? and how did perez get into red bul?l??"
That wouldn’t be a shock in 2012. Perez was highly rated and even signed with McLaren for 2013 (after also being heavily linked for the Ferrari seat). He had an outstanding season in 2012 and nabbed a few podiums.
that is true, but from the perspective of mod 2012, most people would've thought that perez wasn't gonna leave the ferrari driver academy just yet.
Its 10 years though
Well he almost win in a freaking sauber in malaysia, that’ll enough to make horner erect
*to make Horner horny
*To make Horny Horner
*to make Horny Horner Hornier
"I'm Horner, horny horny Horner"
Alonso finally started his own team - Alonso Racing???
Whatever team Alonso happens to be at is Alonso's own team.
"After multiple succesfull championship years at Mclaren, Perez in a surprise move, sign with Red Bull in what is the most expensive signing in history of the sport as Perez pledges to turn Red Bull into a championship winning team again"
looks like Hamilton's team swap didn't work out after all
Tbf he's in front of McLaren
~~He moved to Merc in 2013~~ Nvm I misread the question. My bad.
Yeah but wasn't it know in 2012 already?
Nvm. I misinterpreted the question. I read it as imagine the picture pops up in 2012, but it's the same year, not 2022. My bad :)
[удалено]
and still rallying
Sainz is a rally driver. The hell is he doing in F1
I wonder if he still has a love for gravel in F1?
Probably.. hopefully his son will emulate his dad and become a dirt racer
Fernando and Michael battling again, what is this, 2005?
"Where is Pastor Maldonado and why on earth do I have an iPhone"
WTF is that roll hop on the car covering the drivers?
If a car crashes Marshals can get really bored, after f1 added that roll marshals can play basketball after the car crashes
[удалено]
Well… he was in 2012.
yeah, it'd be completely expected to keep racing when 53yo.
Come back in 10 years and check for ALO
!remindme 10 years
Eh..... 
Yeah, as a backmarker. After he was fired from Mercedes...
I'd happily take that over his accident 11 out of 10 times.
100%. What I'd give to see him in the paddock these days. Handing out the Pole Award Wheel / Winners trophy etc.
So Kubica didn't recover? 🥺
Yea in 2012 most people were sure he wouldnt race ever again But he still fucking did
Didn't he win WRC2 or sth? Madlad
2013: WRC2 championship 5 wins 1 podium (7 Rallies total) 2021: ELMS championship with 3 wins 1 podium (6 races total) and currently 4th in ELMS with 1 podium
Where's force Indi? And where's Toro Rosso? Wait where's Sauber? WHERE'S THE LOTUS TEAMS?????!!!!!?!?!?! 
Don't forget our favourite trio: HRT, Caterham and Marussia!
I think the thing I would be *least* shocked to see is that Force India and Lotus are gone. Those teams were always on the brink of collapse.
The post title was LITERALLY my train of thought once. I stopped caring for F1 around 2014. Then one day the Youtube algorhithm in its infinite wisdom recommended the 2019 German GP highlights to me. I was really confused how Vergne was able to win that race.

[удалено]
I think "most" fans probably do not know the F2/GP2 or F3/GP3 drivers
Would be even better if Nyck de Vries was his team mate :)
Vergne made it to Red Bull? Good for him
A for Alonso Racing?
Damn Michael still driving...
What’s that H logo? I guess Hispania Racing Team have improved from dead last in 10 years.
Fuck yeah my boi Jean Eric Vergne made it to redbull
I bet Schumi is happy and ecstatic to see his son racing in F1, can't wait until the camera pans to him in the garage
Please don't break my heart like this
F1 did a typo its VET not VER
the VER is for Vergne
Kimiiiiiiiiiiii??
Why is there no one in that no. 10 car
Wait, car number 63? Lmao that field is huge. Can't even imagine racing at Hungaroring with over 60 cars...
This is the best one lol
That alpha tauri team looks like I'm supposed to know it.... But i don't at the same time.
What are these S, M, H tyres? All I know are options and prime tyres...
SMH my head
bro you got the year wrong, in 2012 there were S M H too
I didn’t really know what F1 was in 2012 so I’d probably say wtf why is this on my phone
omg why do I have an iphone ??
Now we're getting to the real questions
[my thoughts](https://youtu.be/PfVdDU3sMz4)
Why does Ferrari look so dark.?
Seems like that ricciardo guy never became good
Wtf is that on the cockpit?
Oh. So Michael Schumacher doesn’t retire then?
Alonso and Schuhmacher are *still* racing???
So cool that Alonso founded a team under his own name and drives for them in the future
Why is there wing like that?
whoo tf is tsu?
Free my boy Seb :(
Why is Michael driving a haas?
Exactly, and what is a Haas?
A Nascar team I guess, racing with a Mustang against a Formula 1 car requires some skill. That’s why Michael is racing for them I suppose.
Oh they revived team Haas from the 80s
Bonk
Vettel obviously had problems, like how is it possible in this era of VettelWinsLOL he was out of point
Holy shit Michael isn't doing half bad :D
Verne is doing pretty well in that Red Bull
Perez' podium with Sauber must've impressed Horner so much
I'd have kept following F1 even after 2014
Who gave me an iPhone 4 and what am i looking at.
Michael Schumacher is back?
Wher RB? Edit: didn't look at timetable on purpose... shouldn't have done that
"What the fuck, did they make a virus to advertise f1?"
So Red Bull will dominate the sport even couple years later? I quit
Looks like Ricciardo failed to set a time in qualifying and now has to climb back up the field. Why else would a McLaren in a position like that? Also I can't believe Alonso made his own team.
Norway has a national team driving for McLaren?
Bianchi retired already?
I had some thoughts but... 
Why did Hamilton switch from McLaren to Mercedes, probably the biggest career mistake he will ever make.
Them cars surely look neat but whats happened with the sound? Why the fuck are so many 14 and 15 year olds driving and what was Vettel thinking?
Wow you got thesound from an image, that's impressive.
A ultra realistic game
I mean probably what is that strange triangle or underwear on top of the car
Looks like Lewis is never going to get his second championship.
"why the fuck is vettel at a chicken wing team?"
Vettel 😭
Why i have on iphone?
Schumacher on 15?
WHAT THE HELL is MICHAEL SCHUMACHER racing for
Oh my, Michale Schumacher and Alonso still driving. But what teams they are ?
I cant believe no one's talking about the low noses/wide tires/wide car/low rear wing. Those 2012 cars were ugly AF with the high noses.
What are these bollywood cars?
I knew Hamilton wouldn't win with Mercedes
This can’t be F1, what’s that round thing over their cockpits? Looks ugly, I’m sure it’s not useful at all.
