I really hope that if Max holds onto his title that he will be appreciated for having to drive way above the punching power of the RB20 this season. Mclaren is making too many mistakes with calls imo which is costing them the drivers. They should claim the constructors and Ferrari might even claim 2nd.

I can't see RB holding onto Perez for 2025 and by the way the commentators are going on, they seem to know something. They keep going on about Max's partner options for 2025 etc.

It is pretty much open knowledge that Checo will announce his retirement at the GP in Mexico.
RB were asked by FoM to retain him for the year as they were worried that it would wipe out Ticket sales for Mexico.
Gosip is that Checo got a reprieve if he would voluntarily retire.

So much for the rumour mill, we should know for sure by this time next week.
 
i cant even remember 2021 fish memory I just remember when the merc was first all the time it was so boring and mAx was te only one challenging them

Whoever they get isn't going to be much better than Checo anyway. They won't allow anyone to compete with Max, so that rules out the top drivers. He's already dangerous enough competing with other teams, the last thing they need is both cars out of the race...

I think whether he retires at Mexico or end of the season RB cannot move forward with him in 2025. I just hope that Ricciardo doesn't get brought back - we have so much new talent.
 
great race.
Carlos had a fantastic weekend all around.
the Ferrari's look amazing and might take the wins for the rest of the season.
LH's spin in the race looked very similar to his spin in FP1 and GR's crash in Quali, so could possibly be realated to a set up issue when the tires are in the wrong window.

Colipinto was fantastic to watch as was Lawson. both did so well.

Max did a dive bomb and got away with it again becaue he is the Goldenboy of F1 and the rules do not apply to him as we all know. does not matter who he forces off the road they will get the penalty.

Lando and Oscar felt like they were kind of in no mans land all weekend. lacking the pace of the ferrari while being even with the Red bull and ahead of the Merc's

Perez is stil uselss and not the best driver for that seat and despite the media statement that he wont retire after Mexico I really want that to happen so colipinto can get a Seat for next year.

Sauber are a waste of space on the grid right now as well. whats even the point of them racing?

the Hass cars also had a fantastic weekend and deserve some praise.

No, I think RB has moved on from Danny.. it is quite clear. I think Lawson has these 6 races to impress Christian to get that 2025 RB seat.

Yuki won't get that seat, that much is obvious.
 
Haas has now passed VCARB for 6th place in the constructors standings.

The only thing is if Checo says farewell after Mexico and 4 races remain. It's a plausible (and marketing peeps spin bonanza) scenario to say Daniel comes to keep the seat warm for the remainder of the season while hoping that he doesn't outperform Max to any extent. I would be disappointed if that were to occur.
 
I was pretty sure that Perez will be gone after Mexico, retire or fire. But now that Ricciardo has gone and Lawson in his seat. I don't actually know who will take Perez seat for the rest of the year. So maybe he will stay till end of season.
Then 2025 Lawson gets Perez seat and Colapinto gets Lawsons seat.
