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

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.

I don’t think he can really stay that about this year, but good on him for calling this out

Was more than a few weeks ago.

He had a different floor for a couple races iirc.

With Ric going to RB as reserve maybe Max is trying to push Perez out.


*conspiracies!*

I was thinking Japan, but honestly don't remember.

I have to think RBR dedicated all efforts to next year at some point before then and Perez and Max have had what they had to win the championships.

During a rain delay I had F1 TV on and they were just showing shots of the garage but with hot mics and you could hear Zach Brown say they went after Perez but couldn't get him

Maybe he has to go see Nelson after the race and doesn't want to be called a pussy.

That's actually a very plausible scenario.

According to @ErikvHaren, Perez deliberately crashed in Monaco qualifying and later admitted it to Helmut Marko and Christian Horner. This is apparently the reason Verstappen didn't let Perez pass. Max won't give his reason.

The backchanneling rumor mill is Max is paying back Checo for wrecking in Monaco.

Allegedly Checo, at some point, has admitted he wrecked on purpose to secure the pole. Max has leaked out that Checo admitted to it and has said he will pay him back for it.

No idea if this is true, but it is some villian orgin story for sure.

ust heard that. I don't know what goes on between those two. It could very well be a two-way street. I was happy for Carlos with the podium. I hope Ferrari's flirtation with elite level isn't temporary. LeClerc and Sainz got pretty competitive with each other over the last several races, so I don't know how they'll approach that next year, provided they both stay, but poof-head needs to walk. I'm so bored with his comically stupid decisions.
