Perez 😭
Congratulations Liam Lawson/Danny Ric on the promotion.
I desperately want to see Lawson in an RBR car, but does he pass the Marko test? I can’t remember the last time I heard him talking about him positively.
While we’re at it, wouldn’t mind seeing Hadjar in a seat for Danny Ric, see how he gets on.
That team breaks younger drivers and number 2s. I want better for Lawson than driving for 3 races and getting shit canned.
A fair point. I suppose the counter argument would be that they are at least cycling through the #2’s in order to give them a pop at top-tier racing (Albon, Gasly, Max, Kvyat etc) while there are second seats at teams which are a literal career death sentence like Ferrari (Barrichello and Irvine to Schumacher, Massa to Alonso, arguably Sainz to Leclerc).
I just don’t want Lawson “doing a Sam Bird” and being an incredibly talented driver waiting in the wings for a drive that never comes, that would be such a shame.
Coming from a long time Perez supporter, I’m well past the point of pulling for him and into getting frustrated with his continued poor performance. Given that he’s chasing Max I think a couple slip ups or bad results are absolutely fine, but he can’t keep binning it into the wall or ending up outside the points.
Mega lap by Norris.
mf really turned a 1+1 contract into a -6 month contract…
Perez chooses death yet again. Jeez.
