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

[โ€“] strix@slrpnk.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] hillbicks@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] danielfgom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] hillbicks@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Never said Lawson should replace perez.....

[โ€“] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] BURN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Give Yuki 1 year to prove himself. Very likely is better than Perez, fixes their Lawson problem too

[โ€“] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You put anyone next to Max he is bound to fail.

[โ€“] sheogorath@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only driver who went well against Max in the same team is Ricciardo.

[โ€“] Microw@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Well that was when Max was younger so that could be a factor

That Max picture with the blasses is exceptionally smug btw

[โ€“] Redredme@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope so. Or the other way around, I don't care.

[โ€“] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As far as we know Ric is in AT.

[โ€“] simonky16@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Once Max wraps up the championship they could stick DR and Lawson in at RB to duke it out for the drive and have Max watch. Perez and Yuki can be the B team.

[โ€“] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man, he's having a bad day.

[โ€“] genuineparts@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

If he drove a Williams or Alpine, I'd agree, bad day. Perez is driving for a Top Team, that was career suicide

[โ€“] xooolooov@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Idk what happened to him. Seems like he isnt in good mental state
