Perez to Red Bull confirmed.
Going to be interesting.Perez to Red Bull confirmed.
Personally I don't think he is as good as Verstappen, more a Bottas to Hamilton at Mercedes - good, quick... but not quite top drawer.Going to be interesting.
Perez only looking for a seat because Stroll's dad owns the team and has enough money not to worry about putting the best drivers in his cars.
Perez good enough to challenge Max and is not a default 2 driver. Hasn't worked well before for Red Bull when they have equal, competitive drivers. Max will spend as much time fighting Perez as he does Hamilton.
But if it comes off they could challenge Mercedes for the team championship.
He's the ideal number two, though. Quick enough to be second, pick up the pieces when Hamilton fails to finish, but not quick enough to cause friction in the team by fighting all the time.I personally think Lewis has destroyed Valterri mentally.
How many times was Valterri leading all practice sessions, Q1 and 2 only for Lewis to snatch pole .
Or Valterri looking comfortable and gapping Lewis but then Lewis besting his push laps and taking the lead.
Bottas for me doesnt deserve the second merc seat it should be Russell. Bottas is quick, no denying, but he is not mentally strong enough to try and take a title fight to Lewis
Not as good as Max but more competitive and aggressive than Albon and likely to be far closer to him on track. Potential for mishaps as when Max was driving with/against Ricciardo. Perez has a history of being aggressive with teammates and was bullying Stroll on track even before he lost his seat.Personally I don't think he is as good as Verstappen, more a Bottas to Hamilton at Mercedes - good, quick... but not quite top drawer.
That does make him the ideal teammate however.

Obsession was with his youth when he first entered F1. But now it's almost become the norm.Red Bull is Max's Team, Helmut Marko and Horner obsessed with him.
Agree with the above on Bottas, have zero hope for him next year, heads gone.
On Max, do we feel he really is the next big thing? Because I've felt for a while now that a certain man by the name Of Charles Leclerc is at least on par, and goes under the radar way more than Max. The things he does in that shitbox ferrari are miraculous
Obsession was with his youth when he first entered F1. But now it's almost become the norm.
So for all the digs he has at Hamilton about having equal cars there's 4 or 5 young drivers now in F1 who can say the same about the advantage his Red Bull has over them.
Leclerc, Sainz ,Norris,Russell all got talent. Norris with a Mercedes engine could be interesting next year.
Or head for the nice round ten.I think formula 1 is in a fantastic place driver wise at the moment with the new generation. All the drivers mentioned above, Schumacher and Tsunoda have looked the part in F2 also so interested to see how they get on.
Anyone else get the feeling Lewis will get title number 8 and then walk at the end of next year?
The new contract will probably provide a clue in terms of value and length. Woolf staying and this new INEOS investment might encourage to stay on a bit longer.I think formula 1 is in a fantastic place driver wise at the moment with the new generation.

People who are driven struggle to just quit, though.
