If Perez was RBs #1 driver we would've thought RB had the 4-5th fastest car now, having fallen off a cliff almost as fast as Aston.

Weasel words. Leaves scope to get rid of him for any other reason.

If they feel he is not performing at the level they need, they can remove him. It's not like they need a specific reason

It's a false affirmation though. He could say Checo will be driving in 2024, he isn't.

[–] Sentau@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why say something that could be false. He is not trying to say checo will be in the seat in 2024 no matter what. He is just saying this(championship finishing postition) will not be the deciding factor for checo's future

Maybe not a defining factor for CH but I suspect Helmut may view it differently.

They've already decided his future is my bet.

He is being diplomatic considering they're in the region with the biggest Perez fan base.

"...because he's already gone"

They’re smart not to show their cards before the Mexican GP.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah. He'll lose it because some guy in a Helmut doesnt like him.
