Max was so much quicker than Perez in the second half of the race that it made perfect sense, imho.
In the kindest possible way, Perez isn't going to be winning this championship. He just hasn't got the pace of Max or Charles.

I didn't like it when Bottas let Hamilton through at Silverstone last year either but I know why these team decisions are made. As for Verstappen being quicker than Perez, Perez was on the radio to the team telling them to let him past Vertappen, so he could go after Russell.
Maybe Perez isn't going to win the championship and decisions like this will certainly be a hindrance, lack of race pace or not.
