I can see why they would sign Vettel. But the way they have treated Checo is disrespectful.

[ant_ramos]

This is a joke. Force India or whatever you wanna call it have 6 podiums, 5 are Checo.
I like Vettel and I have nothing against Stroll (he's not guilty for having a rich daddy) but any team would kill to have a Vettel + Checo combo.

[ryand]

Such a disappointing end for a loyal driver

[MohammedMohaideen]

One thing is clear. Loyalty doesn't matter in F1.

[dominicleech]

Absolutely gutted for this lad, by far the strongest driver in the racing point team! Really hope he gets another chance in F1 🏎

[lingtondaniel]

I literally can feel him being emotional about it😭

[dabro]

Racing point did checo bad. This sport doesn't care about loyalty at all.

[hussainmithi]

It’s just so sad to hear him. You can feel his emotions.

[shakesnbake]

He's just a class act - hope he goes somewhere that respects him!

[Moobeus]

So basicly Checo saves the team, saves everyone’s jobs, makes sure everyone gets paid, and then just gets thrown out w/o any warning. Well Racing Point you have lost a lot of fans by doing this that’s for sure.

[glrmaires]

Racing Point is the one breaking the contract. Checo is getting at least $25M in fees.

[JustinsWorldU]

It's sad. Such a good driver being kicked off because the other person is the boss's son. Checo is way better than Stroll and have out performed that car a lot. I really hope he get's the potential Haas seat next year.

While I am happy that Vettel has a new team for 2021, the way Perez was shown the door is poorly handled. Probably just as bad as how Vettel situation was announced at Ferrari.

[jimabbatt]

That’s a man dealing with a ‘crushing rejection’ publicly... without a hint of moaning or un-professionalism 👍🏻 come on Red bull, make the call 🙏🏻

[altairfoo]

Look at Checo's body language, he is soaking in pain and uncertainty. 😢

[apoorvaverma]

I'm happy to see Seb in a drive next year but I'm sad to see Checo being told to leave like this. Dude sounds so disappointed.

[pl]

As a mexican it hurts a lot to see him like that... MEXICO is proud of you Checo! NEVER GIVE UP.

[jamakasis]

That's a ykes from me. They basically did what Ferarri did to Vettel, because of Vettel. The irony.

[KenSerpico]

This low blow by Lawrence is even lower than the stunt McLaren pulled on Sergio. F1 is made up of brutal back stabbers.

When one door gets closed, God opens another one. May God bless Perez with seat in leading team.
