If someone is wanting to be 3rd or 4th on the championship cause of wind tunnel time, then those rules have failed and need to be removed.

[Matt]

I'm looking forward to Lawson continually showing up Perez in a slower car. Eventually he will get his deserved shot in a top 4 team, through outperforming his team mates consistently.

[GM]

It’s honestly getting annoying now. Red Bull don’t need someone who can beat Max but at least get someone in that can finish one or two places down from him CONSISTENTLY. People keep saying that Perez had a ‘strong start’ to the season, the only reason he was finishing 2nd comfortably is because that Red Bull was half a second quicker! Now the other teams have caught up he can’t finish better than p8 on merit. It’s embarrassing for the Red Bull team, it’s getting frustrating having to talk about him every weekend. I’m sick of Perez saying We, we, we instead of owning up to mistakes. His reputation will continue to go in the gutter unless he retires, it would be for his own good! Seems like a nice guy but come on. So many talents deserve a spot in that car over him, or are at least deserving of a chance. Get your head out of the sand Red Bull, you don’t need the money he brings.

Red Bull learned from Renault that you do not let someone go who knows where the bodies are buried

[Pedro]

I truly dislike the rhetoric “best 20 drivers in the world” .. or “F1 is a meritocracy “
Horseshit

[arenadi]

I used to root for Checo, now I'm starting to hate him

[thesteef]

I would choose Colapinto over Hulkenberg or Bottas too, if I'm honest.

[TheOrion]

Would be sad if a driver with Lawson's talent is left on the sidelines again because he doesn't have the big money. His family have sacrificed a lot for him to be there. If this keeps up, we will have a gird full of Lance Strolls and I for one don't want to watch that. Perez is Lance Stroll 2.0. I agree, Colapinto isn't as good of a driver as Lawson. Not even close. But again, he has more money behind him.

[User_]

Man I’m going to really sad if Lawson misses out. He’s proven himself

[jackboyd]

I hope Colapinto gets a top seat next year!

[septopus]

I mean look at stroll.... F1 is a business, not a sport. F1 is a business and that business happens to be racing.
Like all business, money above all.

[tgfabthunderbird]

What's wrong?
1. The Sultan.
2. Stroll and his daddy.
3. Verstappen's daddy.
4. Money from countries with hideous human rights records.
5. Too many rotten teams.
6. Too many lousy drivers.

[MikeOnTrack]

If Red Bull look at every season since they got Max, the number 2 driver has only made a difference twice so far in the WCC.

Can kinda understand why they'd stick with Checo tbh. Pay drivers are a thing in Formula 1.

I agree his performances haven't been good enough.

[DavidJohnson-dclu]

What Red Bull also know is that if they do let Perez go he could spill some secrets, as Red Bull are finding out with former staff now at McLaren. This does highlight the WCC is not that important as they like to make it out. When teams order drivers about, and say the WCC comes first, it might just be gaslighting.

[jeroencloetJK]

F1 will never get the top-20 drivers. That's just impossible. There too much money involved in the sport. Even if you want to drive F4 you need a shitload of money.

[Fanas-ls]

So Perez could be the highest paid driver if it was all based on what he puts on the table?

[drewakki]

As there are big rule changes, wind tunnel time should be level

[SingleFatherlancs]

If the goal for this season was to get more wind tunnel time before 2026, red bull have successfully done that. And managed to keep hold of the drivers title for max. Maybe perez did exactly what he was meant to do.

[tomhutchins]

It seems the wind tunnel rules are bringing the field closer together. If so, it is entirely rational for teams to have one excellent driver and one useless one, to maximise driver’s champ points while minimising constructors. That will help the good driver by giving them more wind tunnel time and thus a better car. Team orders are rationally then better carried out by team principals and owners having a strong “interest” in rival teams or drivers and using them tactically.

And if your rules encourage that kind of action, your sport is broken.

[kondjanegongo]

What are you talking about... Franco got dropped in that seat with very little prep and never raced an F1 car like Liam and has performed from the get go and to the point of being on ALBONs level and beating Hamilton in a straight fight. Lawson is good but seems to have a chip on his shoulder which i think takes away from his ultimate pace like he is distracted by beating Perez and showing red bull he should have had a seat already instead of just focasing on driving and releasing his ultimate speed.
