MODERATORS
People are commenting that the red bull is undriveable (is this the right word?) and that is why perez is struggling. But if you have been watching the sessions (practice, qualifying and races) this year, one can clearly see that Red bull has been suffering with massive understeer while their rear end has been pretty stable. This is different to 2022 and 2023 where Red bull had a sharper front end and the rear was looser so ideally this balance characteristic should suit perez and be the opposite of the balance that max prefers. Yet somehow max is the one who has been much much faster and other than a lack of skill, I can find no explanation for perez's struggles. I think he has lost his edge in the last few years and frankly should be replaced.
Perez lacks the confidence to make a successful pass. Like he’s stuck in the midfield in almost every race. In the seasons before he pushed the other driver or himself off track way too many times. He is probably too scared to push the car to its limit this year.
Isn't this true for every year. He is nowhere near max who is operating close to the limit of the car. The difference being that in the earlier seasons, the car was not suited to him while theoretically, this season's car should be better suited to him. Yet he has looked more off the pace than ever this year
