Perez is really on a roll now. Getting punted in Q1 2 races in a row and being the worst Red Bull/Vcarb for 3 races in a row. Riccardo isn't that good but he could probably fulfill the most minimal requirements of that seat. Like getting out of Q1. |

Not sure some people realise that points aren't awarded until Sunday.
There's medication for being a bit too trigger happy I'm told. |

The changeable weather for the race may help Perez, in a manner to Button in the slightly crazy race of 2011.
However, I think the real issue with Perez this weekend is that he hasn’t been quick in any session. I don’t know if RB have altered the balance of the car to develop it further for Max, and that this is making it harder to drive for Perez. To my mind, the gap between him and Max is going up, certainly since the early days of 2023 where he started the championship brightly. One ray of sunshine for RB is that Ricardo had his best qualifying for ages, maybe since rejoining the RB fold. |

Horner said the RB doesn't have the issue but it uses RB19 suspension. Perez set a time that was 12th fastest when he set it but people still completing their laps in Montreal bumped him down to sixteenth and that was it, the session had ended so no way back. The field is extremely close now and differences are in hundredths of seconds, the field covered by less than two seconds front to back so there's no room for error or getting caught out by hindering someone or being hindered, or not getting tyre temperature right. You might get two runs but you need everything right to maximize the run. One small issue might cost twenty to thirty hundredths of a second but that can take you from 9th to 11th, or 14th to 17th. And in restricted time that's it. Your gone. |

I remember the first couple of years Checo had with RBR (2021-22) he was always there or thereabouts most days, but since last year he’s had too many off days. He needs to find something. The contract extension might help take the pressure off though

Sergio Perez’s contract extension at Red Bull reminds me of the one given to Paul Lambert by Ipswich Town in January 2020.

Conspiracy alert! Christian Horner has all sorts of trouble over inappropriate something (allegedly). Sergio Perez gets a two year contract extension despite some lamentable performances and not much in the way of moderately good ones.
