Daniel Ricciardo put in a stonking lap during Q3 at the 2023 Mexican GP! Here's a comparison between him and Checo which showcases how he made up the massive straight line deficits.

I mean sure, but you can’t ignore the fact that he also qualified faster than Perez who is in the significantly better car. We need to see how Brazil goes to see if it was just a track suiting AT or something

Video is comparing the quali laps, and it's pretty clear Perez is not pushing the RB to it's potential. All the gains the car makes through the straights are negated by Ricciardo's later braking and better approach into turns, I think Checo is facing a real problem if he cannot adjust quickly.

Would be a good confirmation...but when u see max pull the laps he does in same car...perez should be at least managing to keep up, not get consistently outdone by slower cars...its maybe okay he gets 3/4th but beignout of top 5 so often is pretty bad... It would be fine as well if he would convert these out of top 5 places to podium but it seems half the time he can't finish the race..i do wounded if Red Bull will bother keeping him for next year...there been no improvement at all over last races... And lewis is really close to grabbing that second place...might get down to part race, will surely exciting.

The whole weekend suggests that this track suited AT well. But maybe they truly are on the upswing and could do well in Brazil.
