   Sergio is one race from dropping to 8th.

   Max keeps marching on with strong results even when the team are struggling, which is rarely (unfortunately!)

      Perez was doing a test session, I think. He had a brand new engine or something.

         Testing what? The strength of the paper his contract is printed on?
         Can’t believe there’s still people coming up with excuses for him.

         17th, that’s downright ridiculously abysmal. Even before the first rain, he’d just overtaken 3 cars. Three! Had Gasly started, Perez would probably have been stuck behind him and not overtaken anyone at all.

         Formerly, there’d at least be something of a recovery race from Checo, but even that belongs to the past now, it seems. Sure, the extra stop didn’t help, but so did getting stuck in the gravel trap.

         He’s OK as a person, but not as an F1 driver. Persue a career in travel guiding, would be my advice for him.

            He was clearly testing tyre compounds vs track conditions at various points during the GP.

            His FLAP was within 1s (not by a lot) of Verstappen so ‘nothing to see here’ :P

               After he pitted for softs two laps from the end in an effort to take fast lap from Sainz and he even failed at that. I know you’re a big Checo fan, but you’re living in a denial right now. He’s making Ricciardo’s 2022 McLaren collapse look like a solid performance.

   Perez finished 2 laps(!) off P1, how on earth did he manage that?

      Well, it was enough horror weekend for him but it doesn’t help if the team leaves you on inters when the track is dry and you’re losing seconds a lap to the other cars. Ferrari had a shocker with the strategy for Leclerc as well.

         Surely the driver can make the call?

      That’s 3.5s per lap lost.. Pretty spectacular vs the normal 1s a lap.

      It was really one lap. You can’t blame him for the inters for around 10 laps and no he couldn’t make the call. I have been as hard as anyone on him (see above). One lap down is bad enough though.

   Perez was already at the back and the Red Bul goes andl puts him on inters to completely demolish his chances.

   There’s some news about him needing to have certain % of Max’s points until Spa to keep the seat, that this season he’s far from achieving. Red Bull is probably making sure he doesn’t achieve that and they can get rif of him.

   Nobody would make the strategy they did with him today work. Leclerc was already catching Sainz when they called him for inters and was as bad as Perez from then on.

      Think he was just a test mule today. Test the hards to give intel to max. Which I think they used at the end to gain second. Be on track with inters, to see if it would already pay of to switch Max.

   Haas is further & further running away from Alpine & at this rate, I reckon they’ll overhaul Visa RB by the summer break, while Mclaren will probably overhaul Ferrari quite soon as well.

   Clearly Red Bull have earned their position, though I must admit – as harsh as it may sound – I am disappointed by Max’s ability to continue to stretch his lead, despite the improved performances from other teams over a number of races now.

      That’s a pretty silly model as proven alone by the fact that Zhou is ahead of Bottas.

   50% of the season is done with half the points available scored and half still available.

   If you look at first 6 races (2 sprints) and last 6 races (1 sprint) it shows some interesting changes.
   * Max scored most points over first 6 and last 6 races with 136 & 119 points
   * Perez was 2nd with 103 points over first 6 races but last 6 races he is only 9th with 15 points (Hulkenberg scored 16 in last 2 races)
   * As direct result over last 6 races Red Bull (134 points) is outscored by McLaren (171 points) and Mercedes (157 points), still better than Ferrari with 115 points.
   * Lando scored 2nd best in last 6 races with 88 points (still 31 less than Max) and only 5 points more than Piastri and Lewis both with 83 points.
   * Leclerc is struggling the most at Ferrari because despite Monaco win he only scored 52 points in last 6 races. In last 4 races Leclerc only scored 3 points more than Perez.
   * Mercedes by far improved the most from 64 in first 6 races to 157 in last 6 races.
