If you ignore Max this season is actually very competitive.
Merc, Aston, Ferrari and McLaren all fighting over 2 podium spots is cool! Perez is just chilling for a year.
It's crazy how Perez has fallen this year. Towards the beginning, I thought he might be able to fight with Verstappen for the Championship. Now I'm not sure if he will still have a seat at Red Bull next year.
I can’t see any way Perez has a seat at RB next season. I’m not 100% sure he’ll have one by the end of this season.
End of season? Let's see what happens next month during the summer break.
In his favour is the fact that I’m not sure who they have to take his seat in the short term. Not sure either of the Alpha Tauri drivers would be promoted, and DeVries is fighting for the AT seat as it is. There’s Dan but I’m not sure he’d be promoted to the lead team. If he got a seat I think it’d be DeVries’ on a short term contract.
I think they had an option on Albon, so if the conditions of that transfer to Williams are still favourable to RB maybe they can bring him back, but not sure they would. They did back him on the year off and kept him on the grid though, so who knows.
We don’t have visibility of it but maybe there’s a wildcard in the group of drivers where they can poach a driver by them triggering a performance clause in their contact that allows a transfer to the front runner team.
There’s a few drivers outside F1 that get mentioned but it’d be a big showing of faith to pull one of those into the Redbull.
Given where we’re at, I think Perez might be in trouble for end of next season if he can’t turn it around. I assume the team would expect him to take 2nd in the drivers championship this year and anything less will put a stack of pressure on the seat. Right now I don’t think it’s a given he’ll take second. That said, he may be safe for the remainder of his current contract, through to end of next year, if there’s not a better proposition and Redbull is still winning.
Maybe they should bring Vettel back.
I said the same exact thing after the race. The rest of the field is so much more interesting. Without red bull this would be one of the best seasons.
Can't help but laugh because the camera's pretty much never showed max as its just a forgone conclusion and quite boring now.
