Christian Horner on Perez: "He knows the pressures of this business, we're going to give him all the support we can until the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi. What he decides to do is going to be his decision"

He's gonna be here next year too. Looking forward to it.

Mwah, Horner also made some statement on Perez to "come to his own conclusions" or something along those lines, no?
Which sounds an awful like asking someone to gracefully resign before being booted (or a mob boss asking one to disappear quietly before more drastic measures may be needed)

I am still not sure about the power structures. Marko is definitely maximum pissed, in German Sky his reaction in his mother tong was clear...two short sentences something like "He burned the clutch. Might have been P5."

Yeah, perez is gone after AD. Yuki in. Lawson will crumble against Max so no point in rehashing gasly/albon scenario.

Yes, I think this is the reality. The question is if we see Per in the RB?

Surprising end of the season. I really thought Lawson is the deal, never believed that much in Cola. But both RedBull prospects fumbled it completely in the last few races. If Cola puts again a suboptimal race in at Abu Dhabi, I see no reason for anyone to buy him out (with substantial money) of the Williams contract.

That would leave an open slot at RB, which they might most probably not fill with the last two other drivers left...Schu and Mag.

Wow, after getting what title in Las Vegas, Max ended up winning in Qatar. He had amazing pace on the medium tyres, I think also he could keep Norris behind on the hards. But that victory was really sweet. Amazing 8 days for me as his fan. Looking forward to Abu Dhabi, S3 is mostly medium-high speed corners now, also a part of S1 has the same corners. We have just two slow speed corners on that track in which Red Bull is not strong, but I think we can fight for a podium. What a year. Time to celebrate.

Gasly and Albon were rookies when they were teammate to Max i think given time Gasly would have improved .Gasly was on on average 0.4 tenth behind Max. perez is nowhere near that level excerpt on few tracks that he likes.

Gasly was not a rookie. He'd raced for Toro rosso for a season and a half before being promoted

Additionally you've got your numbers wrong. Gasly was 0.55s slower than Max on average in qualifying but the deficit was higher in race trim. He was lapped by verstappen at Austria and gasly started blaming the car's design rather than looking at himself. That was the attitude issue that got him booted quickly with no chance of a return

In 2021-2023 perez's average deficit was usually around 0.5s, but he was better in the race than qualifying so it was not so bad. 2024 it's fallen apart
