@KAIRU Unfortunately I kind of agree. Certainly needs a Verstappen DNF at the very least. I think some of the teams should get together and 'arrange' something, for the good of the sport. And I don't even say that in jest.

@Gamer_Guy Yeah, someone just needs to agree to be the fall guy — maybe Checo, ideally!

@KAIRU Sadly agreed, or at least Max.

I saw Martin Brundle chimed in on the Perez situation today. He stated he doesn't feel anyone but Lewis or Fernando could match Max and it's a super tough gig that has seen other like Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon crushed. That's what I was saying above, but I think Lando or George might get closer, not sure about anyone else, it's often hard to tell until you see them in a top car under the spotlight/pressure. But it's very tough being Max's teammate.

They also speculated that there aren't many options as «Red Bull wouldn’t want to court 'volatility' within the team.» Again exactly what we were discussing. Hence unless Sergio really starts to fall apart I think he is safe for now. The trouble will be if Max has a bad race / DNF and he doesn't fill the void.

@themightyant I think that was mentioned on the coverage of a previous race weekend: if Max is somehow unable to win the race, Checo needs to win that race if he wants to challenge him this season.

@themightyant @KAIRU I agree with all you've mentioned regarding Checo at RB. Much like Bottas with Hamilton, hopefully getting the win if the main
