2024 Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team

It's now all but confirmed that Since Perez for the first time will be running the exact same parts Like for like Since Imola (Mainly due to the crash in Monaco (where he still qualified out in Q1 when he had the exact car as Max, but Max struggled to make it as well). Although the teams mentioned many times the difference is not that big (which Perez himself proved with the car he had in Baku). This could be Perez final chance to show if he can drive well. The replaced chassis has already proved to make a huge difference to Perez's Race Pace wise. But this is really his final chance. If Perez can't find pace in Las Vegas. He is 50% out at 2025, 50% cause Lawson is proving to be not that much better than Tsunoda and the 2026 cars will Suit the Understeery driving style that Perez Excels at.

MV: Yeah, well, I mean, of course, that was important. I wanted to, of course, win a bit sooner. But yeah, it's been tough for us. We always kept pushing. We didn't really understand why the others were so fast in the race, especially. Yeah, I've been trying a lot of things to improve the car. And I mean, starting P17 this morning, didn't look like we were going to win the race again. So yeah, it's an incredible result for us. A massive boost for the team, because honestly, it's been tough. But it is also a big strength of the team to stay calm and just try to work on performance and try to improve our situation. And I'm confident. I'm confident for the last three races that we can fight again, and especially in the race that we will be more competitive.

Why? What does he know that we do not?

Mexico was one horrible demonstration of how bad the car is. They must have done something in the setup for Brazil, to make it understeer a bit less (proof that understeer was still present = T4 and T12 in the dry SQ and dry sprint) that made the car 'competitive' in the dry sprint on M tyres.
Question remains -> is the biggest weakness of the car, a.k.a performance on C1/C2/C3 (whatever becomes H depending on the grain & temp of the track) resolved ? That is the elephant in the room. It needn't be the 'fastest car' , atleast it needs to be a 'consistent' car with a relatively consistent pace gap w.r.t the McLaren, ON ALL TYRE COMPOUNDS.

sainz is winning because he had a good car probably fastest depending on track ,on sunday during rain he was rubbish and got outqualified by many driver in slower cars including yuki and lawson.

What a ridiculous statement. Sainz is not one of the absolute best drivers on the grid but he's certainly above average. If the choices are Sainz or Perez, unless the team doesn't give a crap about the WCC, they should pick Sainz. There's a reason he has almost double Perez's points. And while Sainz can be crash prone, he's no more crash prone than Perez is lol!

IMO Red Bull might have been worried about Sainz not being a team player. There is no way Sainz would roll over and be Verstappen's guard dog. If he has a chance for a win, he will go for it, even at the cost of Verstappen's race. Maybe this isn't the mentality Red Bull wanted.

You forget. Money make companies take decisions different. The wcc is about money, but if there somehow come more from having a specific driver... Then it makes sense why he is kept on.

Perez didn't get a "new" chassis. He was given a previously used one for Brazil.
