What an action packed qualifier!
Perez need to be replaced with Danny Ric
Let’s go Oscar!! Aussie aussie aussie oie oie oie!
Perez needs to be replaced by literally any other driver. It’s almost like Red Bull are nervous of putting someone too competitive in the same car as Max.
Seems more like Max is clearly a cut above every other driver he’s driven against in the same car.
We know Red Bull tried multiple times to get Lando in the car as well, they’re not afraid of fast drivers.
Checo was just entirely overrated imo.
Well Checo had been able to do the one thing Albon and Gasly couldn't, which is consistently finish one or two places behind Max (in both quali and the race).
That doesn't seem to be happening anymore, for various reasons. It was enough to get drivers canned mid-season before, but with a car this dominant and the rest of the field much closer, they're not under any sort of pressure when it comes to the WCC, so who knows.
Checo also had a championship winning car every season with Red Bull.
Albon and Gasly had a notoriously sensitive and tricky Red Bull to drive.
For what it’s worth the gap between Max and Checo as teammates has not been much if any better overall than Albon.
