He might regret those remarks... Let's see if he changes tune if Max DNF in Baku and Sergio wins and leads the championship. His very demands of preference using the points table as justification should be drilled into him relentlessly by the paddock media of Perez gets ahead.
If anything I thought the move was probably designed to allow Max to gain a position, just this time it went in Perez's favor. But overall having two of them near one another like that only helps for just that reason it allows them to play with pit strategies to make Ferrari blink, Which one do you cover.Zynerji wrote: ↑01 Jun 2022, 23:50He might regret those remarks...

It seems to be worded differently from site to site but more or less Red Bull should prioritise the driver leading the points list. Meaning Max, but he may be reminded of this if Checo becomes the leader. Its only 15 points, so one DNF.
This is what Jos said in his column:

As a father I was also disappointed with the race. Max's third place was very disappointing. We all saw that it was a difficult weekend for him. It starts with the car, which simply doesn't have the characteristics for his driving style yet. Max has far too little grip at the front axle. And especially in Monaco, with all those short corners, you need a car that turns very quickly. That was just hard.
Red Bull achieved a good result, but at the same time exerted little influence to help Max to the front. That he finished third, he owes to Ferrari's mistake at that second stop of Charles Leclerc. The championship leader, Max, was not helped in that sense by the chosen strategy. It turned completely to Checo's favour. That was disappointing to me, and I would have liked it to be different for the championship leader.
I would have liked them to go for Max, but of course I am not entirely objective. I think ten points from Max have been thrown away here. Especially with the two retirements we've had, we need every point. Don't forget that Ferrari currently has a better car, especially in qualifying.
Apart from all this, I am happy for Checo. Winning in Monaco is of course something special and I hope he enjoys it. And from now on, it’s full focus on the next races in Baku and Canada.
Many people, including click-bate sites, only post a single quoted sentence, without adding context,
DNF can go both ways. One DNF to Perez and a win in the same race to Verstappen means 40 points lead. It's the sort of probability that Bottas had against Hamilton and lot of folks were wishing for a DNF to Hamilton.
Of course, that's why it is tricky to put all you money on one horse.silver wrote: ↑02 Jun 2022, 17:25DNF can go both ways.

It's the way the internet works these days. All Red Bull will probably care about is beating Ferrari to the constructors championship.
