    What a difference it could’ve been had Perez not bottled so many races, or if Max had a more competent teammate.

      Or if Red Bull had built a driveable car

        That probably would’ve only made a difference for Max, not so much for Perez.

        They had a better car last season and Perez still had less than half the points of Max.

        Also, Perez bottled most races thanks to his own errors, not really the car’s fault.

    This has been one of the better F1 seasons in recent memory, and also really drives home that the constructors championship is a true team sport. Without a good second driver (cough: Perez) there’s only so much a single great driver can do.

      Such a shame they’re binning the ground effect formula so quickly but I do have high hopes for 2025 being an all timer

    GET. RID. OF. PEREZ.

    He is going to cost redbull millions. Is it really fucking worth it??? Put in Tsunoda, fucking hell Lawson or Ricciardo would have done a better job.
