Who will be the next driver of RBR with MAX?

According to the media, Perez has an ultimatum of 2 GPs to keep his spot.

The media are always spreading rumours about Perez to be replaced in times he doesn't manage to show the expected performance. It is difficult to believe them about this as a result until hearing from Red Bull about it as well. However it is the truth that there have been many times Perez made the race extra difficult for himself.

But all in all Perez has still managed to keep second place so far. I think he is just the kind of a driver Red Bull would like now. Because they don't want to have another driver like Verstappen. I don't think Verstappen would want a teammate as competitive as him either. Helmut Marko says that there isn't any alternative for Perez now.

bullrun2020bro, you have been doing really great for a person who has limited knowledge about Formula 1. Great job on that yellow cap as well.  Smiley

I wanted to give a place to a McLaren driver on podium among my predictions. I chose Norris for 3rd place. Maybe it was risky after seeing the first practice session but here we are. I was hopeful about Perez as well but he was a disappointment. After Mercedes had a serious crash at the beginning I hoped Perez also to take advantage of the chance but he had a bad race.  Sad

As I told you at the start of the season.
Piastri is a superb driver, it is one on the S tier.

With Verstappen and Leclerc he was able to win F3 and F2 in 2 consecutive years.

Shame on me for not entrusting him. I think if I sacrificed my EBP and went with Piastri podium I might actually have gotten 2 extra points anyway, and maybe even a bit more as I'd have rearranged the rest behind him. Of course, that's hindsight and easy to look back over my shoulder with regret.

Thanks a lot buddy! I myself am at least as surprised as you guys are, haha. As you know, my knowledge of F1 is still very limited, so I'm more than happy that I was able to win both tips.

Pretty sure such luck won't happen again for me.  Cheesy

I'm praying you're right and you won't have this luck again Wink Have to say, you and Trofo getting Norris in 3rd was inspired.

Congrats @bullrun2020bro on the yellow cap! That Norris call for podium was really brave of you despite the FP1 results. Because McLaren drivers weren't good at all there and this made me hesitate about them this time. But of course the race was pretty interesting and McLaren drivers benefited from this chance great.

That start to the race was really unexpected. Hamilton pushed it to the limit to overtake his teammate however he was careless while doing this. It caused him to be out of the race and it could have been worse for Russell if he didn't climb to top places anyway.

It is a really great joy to watch Piastri climb the steps by having really good results this season. He is benefiting from the chance given to him amazingly.  Smiley

Not only that but it changed dramatically the standings and it made them even more challenging now,from 10th to 4th it is about 2 or 2.5 points in the last 5 races remaining for this season.FIA with these changes of having to pit with a certain time frame have made a huge huge mistake as it has moved out any different strategy or thinking from the teams.Based on this it was a super boring race having to see people make 3 pit stops in a 57 lap race where I have seen in the years before people finishing this with just one pit stop.Another shameful error from FIA.

Yep, you're right the pool got extremely close again. But that's great imho! In most pools it is often the case that the winner is determined relatively early during the season. And the F1 pool looks like it will remain very exciting until the last race.

Five more to go.  Cool

Wow Piastri podium, kicking myself for not sacrificing my EBP to change picks in him there.

Strong showing as expected from the Brits (sans Hammie) but pretty sure he would have been up there too if Sainz didn't get in the way.

And we thought no crash risk in Qatar, huh?

Very likely, yes.
I've selected him on 2nd spot in my Superbru prediction (again)  Lips sealed...

For me it is the first time that I put him I don't know where 5th or 6th in the Superbru prediction pool as I always used to place him second and so far until 3-4 races before he used to get that place while in these last races I have lost several points by choosing him second.

For today race I am sure if the race is held under normal conditions he stands absolutely no chance of coming second as the pace of the McLaren sounds much better than a Perez with a Redbull,he only has a chance if a lot of Safety Cars happen again like yesterday in the Sprint.

Does anybody know where I can find Perez's starting positions (or qualifying results) in one place (page) for the whole season?
I've found some recent statistics here: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/171jqkp/qualifying_championship_after_2023_qatar_gp/
Don't know how accurate it is, seems to be from an Excel file.



He was horrible again in quailfiers, only decent in practice, I feel that guy is such an underachiever.
He's always horrible in qualifying but usually he made up quite some places during race, because RedBull is such a fast car. But now, his most notable appearance during races is to cause crashes, like he did in Singapore, in Japan and now in Sprint as well.  Roll Eyes
And competitors are a bit closer to RedBull.
But in Singapore he crashed into an AlphaTauri (Yuki) and a Williams (Albon), in Suzuka, he crashed into a Haas (Magnussen) and in Sprint today a Haas as well (Hulkenberg). Not even Ferrari, McLaren or Mercedes because he's not even fighting for these positions recently.
So, yes, he's definitely an underachiever, at least recently.
Let's hope he'll have a better race tomorrow. Maybe saving tires will be an important part tomorrow, where RedBull and Perez are decent, overally.

Crazy to say that about the 2nd best driver this season, but I feel literally anyone else would be 50+ points closer to Verstappen.
Very likely, yes.

Man, you can't depreciate so much about a pilot, everyone there has a straw tail, but some have it less volatile than others, and one of those with less volatility so that they talk straw is Checho Perez.

Verstappen is there for talent, but names like Alonso, Hamilton, for example, said no to Red Bull, so it was simply the option for the best prospect. Then... the same can be said, with a car like that, it's easy, right? It's worth asking you, how do you think he is in Red Bull?

If you are going to send any pilot to hell, it can be Stroll.  Wink

With the same car absolutely there are quite some great drivers here,much better than Perez and they are Hamilton,Norris,Piastri (yes even a rookie can be better than him) Russell,Sainz and Leclerc to name a few.I am sure that these drivers would have put a much higher pressure on Verstappen and the point difference would not be that huge.

Hamilton has already said that if I were in the same team with him,Verstappen would not be laughing that much like he does knowing he has Perez,the most mediocre driver as a team mate.I don't know where to find all those results in one page but in Superbru app and in the pool you can see any round I believe by clicking on them.

Verstappen didn't surprise anyone by his high performance in qualifying today. However I won't be able to say the same thing for Perez and Sainz. These two both failed really hard as they couldn't make it to Q3. People must be used to seeing Perez being disqualified in Q2. He was really bad the race in Suzuka as well you know.

Perez is still in the 2nd position in the driver standings right now though. But he needs to do a better work in the remaining races to be able to keep his position until the end of the season. Because there is a gap like 33 points between him and Hamilton. This can really be closed by Hamilton if Perez goes on inconsistent.

Yeah,at least I got the pole position right and starting with 3 points on Sunday from EBP 2 and one from the pole sitter.For the pool though I have gone for some pretty drastic changes in my picks as I have made completely different choices,they are the same drivers that I usually choose for top ten but I have completely put them in random spots so I doubt I will get any good substantial amount of points during this race of tomorrow.

Perez made an error,Sainz made an error and costed them the qualifying,in the Q3 also almost all drivers made errors even Verstappen who the second effort he failed and got back to the garage,Hamilton made errors and a few others.

Based on that I think that the race of tomorrow will be interesting as most likely a lot of drivers will make errors who may cost them a lot.

I will put my faith once again in Oscar Piastri to achieve Top 3 on Sunday race and he do have decent odds and also decent car to be able to do it.

I also do think that Mercedes will try tomorrow at Sprint Race to put pressure on Max and I won't be surprise if a slight contact will appear between Russel , Max and even Hamilton as Mercedes wants to push with Lewis for that 2nd place in Championship as that would have been unexpected at the start of the season for them.

looking at results, maybe it would be wise to change my picks for the race, and lose 2 EBP points, but maybe doing the podium right
but what are the chance to have 2 Mercedes cars without mistake on the track, not sure that those are big, so will leave it as it is

this format with sprint does put more races on the stage, but for occasional followers, as myself, it is getting harder to understand what is happening and when
