At Spa tooIf memory serves me correct, this is the first time the on-the-road winner has been DSQ'd since Schumacher in 1994.

How fitting...At Spa too
He could drive like Mick Schumacher by splitting cars in half every race and he will still be given a contract extension.
Gotta feel bad for Alonso who has to deal with him.
Daddy will just sign up with Mercedes again or ask Audi for engines.
I can see Audi selling engines for more money to help offset some costs, plus 2 extra engines is 2 extra sets of data points for improvements to be made to the engine.
Checo has job security unlike anything I've ever seen before. It rivals CEO positions, for crying out loud.
Kvyat, Albon and Hartley were all let go for significantly less than what Perez has done. I don't get it.
It's safe to assume it was simply Toro Rosso things™That is wild.
Completely off topic- does anyone know what happened to VCA/RB ??... I saw that Tsunoda pitted and changed from M to H and I thought "ok maybe they're going for a one stop" - and then RB just disappeared.
I mean it's great that RB got another point for the constructors race but I didn't expect them to be that off pace
I haven't read any articles yet but am I missing something ?
Getting a better driver would boost the teams value instantly.Lawrence will also move Lance on if it's the only way to keep his team going.
Hence I don't buy the "daddy" putdowns either. Partly because I reckon Lance, while not having the same performance based job security stress that other drivers have, I reckon he has his own unique set of stresses to deal with. I'll bet he doesn't have a Disney Prince life, and Lawrence doesn't seem like the loving, nurturing dad type, either. Maybe he's different at home than at work. Most people are.
Perez is worth more money to the sport than those three put together.Kvyat, Albon and Hartley were all let go for significantly less than what Perez has done. I don't get it.
I mean...he's worth more to the money men. He hasn't been of much worth to the actual sport for a little while now, which is genuinely a shame because Perez is undeniably good.Perez is worth more money to the sport than those three put together.
Didn't say his worth was on track. It's cynical but it's true.I mean...he's worth more to the money men.
Oh, you don't have to tell me. I was having a "discussion" with someone the other day who outright implied he got the RB seat in the first place because of his financial backing. Now, while I have little doubt that played a role in things, he got the seat because of his stellar performances at Force India.(people have seriously short memories)
You and me, both. Massa had a very similar performance drop but was completely rejuvenated at Williams.I'd like to know exactly what explains his performance deficit; I've always hypothesised that a team like Red Bull builds a car exclusively tailored to Max Verstappen's driving style, irrespective of their number two's style, but that can't be the only thing.
Bottas is another one people don't give the proper respect to. He outqualified and outraced Hamilton on multiple occasions on genuine pace.Even Bottas, who got awful dog's abuse, wasn't this far back to Hamilton.
FIA knew Russel somehow cheat coded the tire strategy ...not sure but did anyone else do a 1-stop?Seeing Toto’s non reaction to the 1-2 was pretty sus. I think they knew.

It's a shame that Perez, the former People's Champion of F1.5 (people have seriously short memories), has fallen so far back on the circuit.

Coulthard was close to Häkkinen.
Barrichello was always where he needed to be relative to Schumacher.
Irvine lagged behind Schumacher but never this much.
Frentzen kept reasonable pace with Villeneuve.
Fisichella tailgunned for Alonso reasonably well.
Even Bottas, who got awful dog's abuse, wasn't this far back to Hamilton.
Alonso, who by doing so finished highest of the midfield runners.FIA knew Russel somehow cheat coded the tire strategy ...not sure but did anyone else do a 1-stop?
He was always praised for being able to keep a set of tyres going for long stints. I don't recall that ever being a factor or mentioned during his tenure at Red Bull.Didn't say his worth was on track. It's cynical but it's true.

Seriously now the Merc knew...it seems like a strategy you'd use if your care has no pace. I don't really get tire strategy often times, but get the weight issue. cant remember who i saw that was talking about F1 drivers diet, but they eat like high end fashion models, and have to stay under a certain weight.Stroll and Magnusson also did.
The right question in regards to Checo's case would probably be "why he was able to keep up for as much as he did". As much as Checo is underperforming right now, i can't really believe the issue lies entirely on his lack of pace.Didn't say his worth was on track. It's cynical but it's true.
