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.

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 2 years ago

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.

Helmut Marko does not trust Liam, though. He finished ahead of Yuki again and still has no 2024 seat.

Not in AT...sticking a young talent straight in the top team is very RB though. Albon, Gasly etc.

[-] BURN@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I think they’ve learned from Albon and Gasly. It’s probably why Perez got the seat over an inexperienced rookie.

[-] bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

It's not really working out though. Checo looks done in.

He is a very good driver, but I think the team is done with him, his morale must be so low. Especially when Helmut opens his gob.

The only move I can see is Norris to RB.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ricciardo can be a good second driver if he gets his ego sorted out. His driving style is similar to Max and he previously stated that he uses Max's setup as a baseline for his setup because he has more of a by the feeling kind of approach to make a setup of the car.

[-] bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Charles would be my choice, the on track action would be great.

Dominant teams are easier to handle if there's some competition. Merc with Rosberg was much more fun than Bottas getting spanked every race

[-] evanuggetpi@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Indeed. I know RB have tried a few times in the past to lure Norris away and he would do a good job. Charles has probably has enough of Ferrari too. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Either one would be a big upgrade on Perez.

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