Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

To me, a one-off solid debut performance in a very strong car doesn't immediately warrant a full-time F1 drive. Obviously, it doesn't hurt him.

Re: Perez Teammates

The most interesting aspect of this season will probably be if Perez can finish P2 in a dominant enough car (again).

He's looking out of his depth and needs that car dominance at the top end.

Yup. A lot of the general sentiment about the budget cap has turned out to be extremely misguided. Now the teams who could at least try to overspend to catch up can't brute force their way back if they start off far behind. With the first season setting team trajectories and establishing a likely or...

Perez got slapped down. He couldn't have asked for a much better opportunity to claim another win and actually be ahead of Verstappen on wins 3-2, 5 races into the season.

I agree with Horner. Max's pace on worn hard tyres was race-winning (barring no calamities before this race ends).

Re: Who was the better Mercedes driver in 2022?

Maybe edge Hamilton but Russell has shown me enough to convince me he can be a big player in this game, and I expect him to push on from here. Hamilton will probably always be good enough to make it difficult though, even though you'd expect him to wane and Russell to rise in the long run.
