    said this in another thread but I think this is more of a test for Yuki, if he beats RIC then Yuki replaces Perez next year

        Why would that make sense? Yuki has 2 points this season, Perez has 5 podiums and like 156 points. Why would RB downgrade MASSIVELY?

          The AT car is definitely not on par with RB. Perez should be 1st or 2nd this whole season barring bad luck or strategy.

          Yes but by that logic no driver from any backmarker or midfield team (Russell, Leclerc, Bottas…) would ever have made it to a top team. You have to look at their performance in relation to their teammate/immediate competitors, not the overall standings.
