He talked a massive game during the opening races, but he’s failed to get into Q3 at half the races so far. It’s incredible how Verstappen just stomps everyone thrown into the other car, young or experienced, and in every area. I honestly don’t think Checo “the tyre whisperer” Perez is better than Ver at tyre-saving, nor strategy, nor raw pace…
Is there anyone who RB would feasibly replace Per with? Maybe Norris? I’m not a huge fan personally, but I know he’s got plenty of cachet at the moment.
Bottas not a journeyman? Bold statement.
Ha, yes, that wasn’t the most thought-out thing ever, was it? It’s not fair to lump rosberg in with Bottas, really. In my mind, I’d put rosberg a bit below hamilton, and bottas a fair bit behind, then perez/gasly/albon another fair bit behind. Is that better nuance?
