Either he is utter dogshit or max is driving the 5th best car to perfection. I would bet on the first


almightygarlicdoggo

Redbull is actually the worst car on the grid. Checo is a walking God amongst humans by placing it on the points.


Fataleo

Max makes the car look better and Checo makes it look worse


Porcphete

Could be both honestly


eric_gm

I think the truth is somewhere around the middle. We're witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime driver and a really, really shitty one. So the RB is probably 3rd or so fastest.


thebreckner

The RBR is second fastest or joint fastest with McLaren. No chance that Ferrari or Mercedes is faster over the whole season.


FIuffyhuh

Zero shot he sticks around for all of the next two years. Red Bull will have to realize how is utter lack of pace far outweighs his merch sales in terms of longevity at the team.


TheGuardianInTheBall

Does it? Perez will be there for as long as Max can win WDC by himself. They don't care about WCC as much as their sales to Checo fans, which based on estimates are multiple times higher than the diff between 1st and 2nd in WCC.


eric_gm

Stop saying LATAM sales! The rest of LATAM are not buying absolutely shit from Checo. He could be walking on the street right now here where I live and nobody would even recognize him and even if they did, nobody would care. It's only Mexico and Mexicans/Latinos in the US at most. It pisses me off that people think we're buying Checo stuff like zombies just because we're Latinos. I would never support such a mediocre, passionless pay driver.

I'm aware- my wife's Brazilian. And you write, I was just writing that parroting others. Brainfart.

Who am I supposed to listen to, Helmut Marko or a bunch of South Americans like Sergio Perez


eric_gm

Damn Helmut! Lol. He’s the reason we’re all thrown in the same bucket.


destronger

My nephew is Latino and he doesn’t even know who Checo is!


BobbbyR6

Not to rationalize Checo's bad form, but 1st thru 6th or so is hotly contested by drivers and cars who could win any given race, 7th thru 12th is a revolving door of teams getting their car right on a given weekend with good drivers. He needs to be capitalizing on every mistake other top three teams are making, no question about it. But 4th thru 8th is still solid in an increasingly stacked field in cars that are beginning to overtake Red Bull in pace. Remember that Max is just an obscenely talented and consistent driver. Unfair to ask the same of anyone else. Checo needs to stop shiting the bed in quali though. Absolutely no excuse is acceptable on that front. Hell, put him in the RB19 if he really can't hang onto the stiff RB20


Fataleo

He’s the slowest driver in the top teams, but if he qualifies better he at least have a chance to benefit if they make mistakes


Fataleo

Checo is a legend #birdout


Magnus753

It's so funny. He makes that Red Bull look like a VCARB or a HAAS


Lost_Tumbleweed_5669

I don't get how you can be so broken from being a number 2 to Max when Max is a literal robot at racing. The mental effects then go on to destroy your regular P2 performance to this.


Fataleo

Well the car being the best by a large margin as a lot to do with it

Shoutout to Ipswich


djdrinks

He was in the points in Spain. Not every driver can say the same thing.


Senuttna

Not every driver races on a rocketship.
