He talked a massive game during the opening races, but he’s failed to get into Q3 at half the races so far. It’s incredible how Verstappen just stomps everyone thrown into the other car, young or experienced, and in every area. I honestly don’t think Checo “the tyre whisperer” Perez is better than Ver at tyre-saving, nor strategy, nor raw pace…
Is there anyone who RB would feasibly replace Per with? Maybe Norris? I’m not a huge fan personally, but I know he’s got plenty of cachet at the moment.
This guy Albon seems pretty good. Definitely outperforming that Williams. RB should give him a shot!
Really though. While Norris had a good weekend I don’t think Perez is a worse driver than him. Verstappen is just a legend. In the league of Hamilton and Alonso who, when they gel with the car, can work magic and leave their teammates in the dust.
As long as Red Bull win the constructors I think he’s safe
agreed, for the short term
