The Ibai Llanos – Kun Agüero pairing has become one of the favorites for the Twitch audience. The friendship and chemistry between the streamer and ex-soccer player (turned content creator) were already known before the Kings League. In one of Ibai’s last live shows, they have shown that they have not lost that complicity.
In front of a camera they have the ease and smooth talk to talk about any subject. For example, the salaries of Formula 1 drivers. Echoing a publication from the GPFans portal, they have been reviewing the driver grid.
The review of Ibai and the Kun. The first comment is about the Chinese Alfa Romeo driver, Guanyu Zhou. “He charges two kilos and is last in all,” says Ibai.
Ibai’s confusion. One of the aspects that have surprised the streamer the most is that the Japanese Yuki Tsunoda ‘only’ collects 930,000 euros: “He is a mythical Formula 1. €930,000 a year to risk your life… with the money there is”, says Ibai. “For me it is very little,” adds Kun, who later doubts whether it is the annual or monthly salary.
A doubt that is dispelled by looking at the salaries of Max Verstappen (51.17 million), Lewis Hamilton (32.56) or Charles Leclerc (22.33). “This is a year,” Ibai reaffirms, clarifying that the pilots can charge more for sponsors. It must also be qualified that Ibai confuses Tsunoda, who has only been in the competition since 2021, with Takuma Sato, who ran from 2001 to 2008.
Salary comparison of Fernando Alonso with the Kun. According to the portal consulted by Ibai and Kun, Fernando Alonso would collect 18.6 million euros from Aston Martin. A figure that has raised a question for the streamer: “Have you ever charged 18.6?” Agüero asks him directly, who answers with a slight smile and omitting the question: “You took all the petrodollars from City”, comments Ibai.
The comments. Most of the users who have commented on the video on the TikTok account @tusclipsvirales have responded with irony about Ibai’s knowledge of Yuki Tsunoda.
“What memories with Yuki Tsunoda competing head to head against Alonso in 2012 at that Monza Grand Prix”
“Yuki Tsunoda > Fangio”
“I think Ibai started watching F1 this year. Yuki Tsunoda mythical…”
