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.

Why? It's risky, but so what? Max can win both championships on his own in that car.

Never said Lawson should replace perez.....
