Perez is really on a roll here, what a shit show the last two races. Marko was surprisingly tame about the race, not sure I trust that.

I don't see him or Sargeant in a F1 car in 2024, at least they shouldn't be with the amount of talent that is available coughLawsoncough

Forgot to upload the second decision

    Indeed. Also, that collision was totally stupid and avoidable. Then the time serving of the penalty after the car was already retired - they really made a laughingstock out of themselves.

    Well, sending him out again made sense from a team perspective. But it is not really sportsmanship like behavior, that is for sure.

    Reminded me of the team orders in 2021 DTM finale. Sure you can order the first three drivers to slow down because that is the only way to win the championship, but nobody's going to respect you for it.

    Agree. We won't see Sargeant in F1 next year and who knows if/where Perez will find a seat.

    It's worse for Perez than Sergeant because at least Sergeant is new and a rookie makes mistakes. But Perez has years experience and the best car on the grid yet can't do better than midfield mostly.

    Taking out Magnusson yesterday was a really stupid move, there was no way he was making it through.

    I think Marko must be laughing at everyone who criticised him because Perez is kind of proving him right. Not about being "south American" but about saying he struggles to focus because his emotions sometimes are stronger than his rational mind.

    How else do you explain that move on Magnusson? He let his emotions get away with him, allowing himself to be impatient and stressed and make a dumb choice

    Ah yes, choosing Lawson over Perez sounds like a decision any competent Team CEO would make.. not.

    If his form doesn't drastically improve soon, I can see him being paid out by Red Bull and fired. Or maybe swapped around with one of the Alpha Tauri drivers.

    Right now Red Bull is fine and is already constructor's champion. But if and when a team emerges second consistently (McLaren looks like they are) Max can't reliably win the constructor's trophy on his own, even if he'd get 1st and fastest lap every race.

    It's also a bit sad to see such a great car go to waste because it's driven by a "mediocre" driver.

    I'd stick Lawson in.

    And he would burn under the pressure like every other wean put into the red Bull too soon. No one since max and Daniel have been able to handle it other than a seasoned driver like Perez who is inconsistent but pulls bright spots from it. Put Lawson in there and heโ€™ll crumble like Albon and Gasly both did

    If he's good enough, he's good enough. Only one way to find out.

    Perez is cooked.

    Helmut Marko does not trust Liam, though. He finished ahead of Yuki again and still has no 2024 seat.

    Not in AT...sticking a young talent straight in the top team is very RB though. Albon, Gasly etc.

    I think theyโ€™ve learned from Albon and Gasly. Itโ€™s probably why Perez got the seat over an inexperienced rookie.

    It's not really working out though. Checo looks done in.

    He is a very good driver, but I think the team is done with him, his morale must be so low. Especially when Helmut opens his gob.

    The only move I can see is Norris to RB.

    Ricciardo can be a good second driver if he gets his ego sorted out. His driving style is similar to Max and he previously stated that he uses Max's setup as a baseline for his setup because he has more of a by the feeling kind of approach to make a setup of the car.

    Charles would be my choice, the on track action would be great.

    Dominant teams are easier to handle if there's some competition. Merc with Rosberg was much more fun than Bottas getting spanked every race

    Indeed. I know RB have tried a few times in the past to lure Norris away and he would do a good job. Charles has probably has enough of Ferrari too. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Either one would be a big upgrade on Perez.

    Would this mean Ric in AT and Lawson in RB for 2024.

    That would be so stupid that it fits Marko. You cant put a rookie next to Max, that is doomed to fail and cost the team even more.

    As far as we know Ric is in AT.

    They're all signed to the red bull company, not the teams anyways, which is why they can be swapped around so easily. DR could (technically) drive for RB without a problem.

    He was put back in the race because he had a 5 sec penalty, which as far as the commentators were saying would have caused a grid place penalty for the next race, since he didn't finish the race.

    To mitigate that he was brought out for two laps.

    To do what? Why? They are first. What could they possibly achieve with sergio driving this bad? They've become constructor champion mostly without him.

    He just has an off season. There is only one person to blame for it, his name is Sergio. Not Marko. Not Christian. Not Max.

    Leave the mind games where they belong, at Mercedes. Today once again showed how it really works over there. Russel got shanked, gutted. Destroyed. Again.

    Russell wanted to stay out for longer which caused him to have older tyres followed by cars with newer tyres.

    He wanted to try what Carlos did with Lando giving tow to Hamilton to prevent Carlos from overtaking both. It was not possible since by having older tyres he was slower and would have made both of them slower leading to both being overtaken by Carlos. Hamilton was asked to give a tow to Russell the next lap which he did give but Carlos was already next to Russell, therefore he failed to benefit. In Singapore there are very few places to overtake which is not true in Suzuka.

    There is something called situational awareness. Russell might learn in the future if he keeps his head clean.

    Last week, when Carlos and Lando were the ones with older tyres, the plan worked though. That was why it was so impressive. Itโ€™s a bit embarrassing that two drivers from different teams can work together better than the two Mercedes drivers.
