MODERATORS
I honestly think Verstappen has an effect on Perez's confidence. Maybe if he wasn't there, Perez would actually perform better because of lack of pressure to keep up with a generational talent.
All the top drivers have this effect, they make very good drivers look average. Alonso and Hamilton have a habit of crushing their team mates too.
Except that one guy who defeated Lewis Hamilton in the same machinery to become a World’s Driver Champion
He didn't have the guts to defend it. He knew he got extremely lucky and retired. Was kind of a bitch move, though I understand YouTube was an exciting career change.
That’s part of the joke lol, Rosberg brings up his championship winning season at every opportunity and it has become a meme heh
Don't forget Gasly
Gasly was just never that good. Imo he is at most Top15 in driving talent. Compared to Max who is at least Top 3 if not 1 right now.
Just like everyone else not among the top guys, he has his great moments and crap moments. He did get a win in AT, while Hulk couldn't even get a podium during his 50 years in F1.
Funny to say top15 this year when the competition is so fierce and almost everyone has stepped up so much. Last year I thought Yuki is trash, and now look at the guy.
I think Gasly still has it in him too, but unless Alpine steps it up like AM and Mc have shown this year, we won't see much of it.
Yeah, it could be the same case as with Bottas in Merc but it gets to his head even more. I believe his performance dropped around the time people started talking about him having a chance at winning the championship?
I noticed this with Perez, had a good start to the season, then the second people start talking about a title race, his performance fell of a cliff. Hope he can get out of his own head, otherwise I wouldn't be surprised is Horner and Marko are interviewing replacements.
Bottas still reached Q3 over 100 times in a row
But Bottas never missed Q3. Him and Perez are in a different league if you talk about ouright speed.
