FORMULA 1 ARAMCO BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2023
This is starting to get embarrassing for Checo. I thought people were exaggerating how precarious his position was but if he keeps performing like this RB might actually be forced to take action.
Imagine if RB had an actual competitor, Checo couldn’t support Max at the front at all if he keeps going like this.
Insane how great Max has been running it’s really overshadowed how poorly Checo has been
Yuki to RB please
My hot take is that Yuki is pretty much set to take the second RB seat pending Perez’s overall performance. If Perez continues to be abysmal, I’m sure that RB will drop him using a performance clause in his contract.
Everyone likes to rag on Yuki but since Gasly has left, Yuki stepped out tremendously. Not to mention that he’s been dragging that shit box to mid-field a handful of times. Helmut Marko even commented on Yuki’s performance and Marko never compliments anyone unless you’re Max and Vettel.
De Vries is going to get dropped to make way for Liam Lawson.
RB/AT seats is going to make silly season fun.
I really don’t think Yuki would be an improvement. He’s been inconsistent and his highs haven’t exactly been amazing. They’d be better going for Riccardo or the Hulk or Sainz imo.
Yuki’s been driving a dead bird on wheels though, imo
My bet is on Hulkenberg.
As odd as it sounds, Sainz is too good. RBR doesn’t need another driver who can challenge for the win. That only creates friction. That means that Sainz is not a good option in my opinion.
Ricciardo is apparently too slow when driving the sim, much slower than Perez.
I think Hulk is decent enough, but also realistic enough not to start drama within the team.
Where was it said that Ricardo is slow on sim? Just never came across such info? (not doubting ur comment just want to see where to look for such info)

Amongst others.
Obviously no real “hard” data, but the rumours were certainly strong.
Thanks, that was a good read. Horner did seem to suggest Daniel was improving but who knows.
Perez was leading the pack on a damp track. It was a bad call to put him at the front. And the gap between him and tenth shows it.
Makes you wonder how fast the racing point actually was in 2020 lol
Ricciardo must be grinning
When is Ricciardo not grinning? 😁
That lad deserves an emoji of his own!
Love to see McLaren back at the front, very interesting to see so many teams getting competitive. Just ignore Max and it’s a bloody interesting season.
Perez’s saving grace is that he is in the fast car and can come back through the pack to reclaim some points or a podium.
Luckily for RB Max is winning all championships on his own so whilst not great it’s not terrible.
If his race performances were off too he would have been gone before now. RB dropped Gasly and Albon for less however more was at stake then when they were not smashing everyone else.
People need to stop voting him driver of the day though.
Pumped for McLaren. Loved Zak’s reaction in the garage.
It is really best case scenario for Perez to have an off period. Max is winning everything and there is a large fight for second best so the rest of the available points are being spread around every race. As long as Checo has an occasional good race, there is absolutely no risk for the constructor’s for Red Bull.
Norris: “Max ruins everything for everyone”
Ahahaha preach it
Max drinking his water during that section of the interview to stop from smiling that shit-eating grin of his 😂
McLaren wtf Zack is so fucking pumped, proud of that guy. What a performance from Norris and Piastri.
Haha, yeah, he’s really excited, understandably so.
He put a shit eating grin on my face watching him charge around the garage damn near punching everyone with those high fives!
I’m right there with you, I was grinning the whole time watching him. So happy to see those upgrades coming through for McLaren. Lando deserves a good car.
Petition to make Max drive a formula 2 car to keep races competitive.
We can leave Perez in the Red Bull, it’ll be fine.
Just make him swap with DEV
Really impressed by Piastri, magnificent for a rookie
Perez, come on, dude…
What happened?
Nothing and everything. He’s 14th, 1,5 seconds behind his teammate.
Damn. The way you worded the original comment, I thought he’d crashed or fallen afoul of track limits (such a cursed concept now…).
He’s slow. Is that any better?
For conveying the message? Yes. For Checo? Not really…
I’m a Redbull and Checo fan so the season has been equal parts ecstatic and not. I’m also a fan of the sport so itself and generally cheer for many drivers/teams.
Fair enough. I’m a Red Bull and Tsunoda fan, so this season has been…decidedly a mixed fan for me as well. I’d love to see Yuki at RB, though. I think that would be a good way to really unleash his potential, as opposed to watching him basically drive roadkill on wheels.
Perez out, again lol
Perez, what the hell man
Lol 5 times in a row missing Q3
This time, I honestly can’t blame him. Being put completely at the front was the worst position to be in, and that is on the team.
The previous 4 races though, those are on him, and are embarrassing as fuck.
McLaren and Albon making me really happy right now
I’m amazed Albon is still scrapping in the top right now
Honestly, good for him. He’s matured as a driver and it seems like Williams has finally figured out how to make a decently fast car.
The Williams is legitimitely good this weekend.
McLaren what???
LETS GO NORRIS
