I’m not sure when exactly the message came through but Max finished over 4 seconds ahead of Checo.

RBR has been clear Perez doesn't have the same car. Perez has been driving the B-spec.

Something like 'We went down the wrong road with development and Checo has been the one with those results'

Not taking away from Max. He is driving at peak performance with the best car underneath him. It is what champions do.

You can admit that Max is a generational talent and currently the best driver on the grid while him also being extremely selfish. I am a Max fan, and his actions today speak volumes to his character and Im very disappointed. Maintaining that 1 position will ultimately cost him dearly. He will lose a lot of support from the team and the respect of a great teammate. Checo should never yield to Max again.

they've pissed away this entire season when they had the best car since vet in the oil burner was blasting down the Kemmel straight at 500mph. And they screwed the pooch in every way imaginable

Not necessarily. Talent is just natural aptitude.

Talent is one of the more overrated things in sport. See Texas A&M.

WTF would they make him drive a poorly developed car all year?

look man, the analogy was hard to make, but you get it

I don’t actually. Jordan deferred to teammates with the game on the line multiple times, and his team was better for it.

Someone else made an ever better analogy. Jordan was subbed out for bench players at the end of blowout games multiple times.

Cost cap? Not sure if it was the entire year or what is exactly different.



Post race interview
quote:

Q - At the end the team told Max to give back the position, but he was fighting with Alonso, and it didn't happen. Maybe it would have been right (to give back the position)?

A - Yes. I'm very surprised, I don't know what happened. Especially after all I've done for him, no? I think that... I don't understand his reasons, and very surprised. I think that if he has two championships it's thanks to me.

Except, Checo is not in a position to state, "What are you going to do? Replace me?"

You know the answer to that question.

Every driver has a different driving style. In an ideal world they set up cars to give the drivers the best specs.

Here, unless I’m remembering correctly, they set up everything to Max’s preferences and never really went in and changed things for Pereze’s specs.

This is the excuse Riccardio has been living off of for two years

Nobody is arguing Perez’s greatness as a driver.

Probably. But the gap isn’t nearly as big as the standings would indicate. Mercedes has a decidely inferior car, Ferrari has a decidedly inferior support staff

Cheko has shown to be pretty full of himself as well.

*I know he has two because of AD, but he comes across like he's a big reason for this year as well.

In Spain, checo let max by twice and max refused to let checo back thru to attack rus when Max's drs wouldn't open. Checo let max thru at the end and the win gave max the points lead over lec. Max just shite all over checo today

Don't you think, with limited budgets to test and wind tunnel that races are used to test and analyze small changes here and there and use the data to improve? Why would a team take those chances with their "1 car and not their #2 car? Perez serves a purpose and it's to be wing man to Max and a test pilot. He's free to walk from his contract if he feels that is unfair.
