Perez was very clear in an interview on Thursday that the car doesn’t suit his style of driving, that the team know this and when they give him a more suitable car he will be back towards the front. True or not, who knows…
Believe this or not but according to someone I know within the sport the reason Perez still has a drive is because the organisers can’t guarantee the safety of Red Bull staff in Mexico is he’s binned. Apparently a gentleman’s agreement is being sought so both sides can save face.
What Red Bull drinks people? Presumably Reb Bull F1 don't have staff in Mexico?

Hope you’re wrong but it is looking a bit of stalemate at present. Hopefully tyre deg creates some interest.

Yes, it is. Jos said the same about Perez recently I believe. I did not click on it, but that was the strap line.
I suppose some people will believe Red Bull's Jackanory stuff.

Looks like Max should catch and likely overtake Hulk. But what will he do when he reaches the Ferraris?

Wow, I think Perez needs to be tested for colour-blindness. When there isn't another car next to him moving he doesn't spot the green.

That replay of Perez being overtaken on his pit start was embarassing

Crofty telling us that Hulkenberg is keeping Verstappen at bay. Yeah, 'cos Hulk in a Haas is a better package than Max in a Red Bull.

Sure.

The only way you could have made that more dull is showing it in black and white.

You don't like to believe all the conspiracy theories about Perez, but how else is he keeping that drive ? Surely there must be an easier way of selling some fizzy pop in Mexico ?
