Re: Official Checo (Sergio) Perez Thread

I think the performances of all the drivers to new teams has shown that they need more than 3 days testing. Also imagine the basis of the Red bull is completely different to the racing point which he probably still adapting too

Re: Is Vettel at Aston Martin starting to look like Mansell at Mclaren in 95?

He just needs a clean weekend with no reliability trouble so he can get the laps in and the confidence. As someone said earlier after 5 races we should start to have a better idea.

Re: Button is better than Hamilton in the wet - True or False?

False. Lewis is generally in a class of his own in the wet. Silverstone 08, Fuji 2007, suzuka 2014, interlagos 2016, Turkey 2020, monaco 08 no one could get beer him.
