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.

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

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 he’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.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perez had more wins this year then most men accomplish in their lives, calling him cooked is ridiculous. He’s certainly not meeting expectations right now though

Today was a RB career ending drive. I bet he's not in the car next season.
