Sergio Perez has received a total of 4 penalty points for overtaking under Safety Car conditions and causing a collision

Perez is really on a roll here, what a shit show the last two races. Marko was surprisingly tame about the race, not sure I trust that.

I don't see him or Sargeant in a F1 car in 2024, at least they shouldn't be with the amount of talent that is available coughLawsoncough

Forgot to upload the second decision

Indeed. Also, that collision was totally stupid and avoidable. Then the time serving of the penalty after the car was already retired - they really made a laughingstock out of themselves.
- Well, sending him out again made sense from a team perspective. But it is not really sportsmanship like behavior, that is for sure.
  Reminded me of the team orders in 2021 DTM finale. Sure you can order the first three drivers to slow down because that is the only way to win the championship, but nobody's going to respect you for it.
Agree. We won't see Sargeant in F1 next year and who knows if/where Perez will find a seat.
It's worse for Perez than Sergeant because at least Sergeant is new and a rookie makes mistakes. But Perez has years experience and the best car on the grid yet can't do better than midfield mostly.
Taking out Magnusson yesterday was a really stupid move, there was no way he was making it through.
I think Marko must be laughing at everyone who criticised him because Perez is kind of proving him right. Not about being "south American" but about saying he struggles to focus because his emotions sometimes are stronger than his rational mind.
How else do you explain that move on Magnusson? He let his emotions get away with him, allowing himself to be impatient and stressed and make a dumb choice
Ah yes, choosing Lawson over Perez sounds like a decision any competent Team CEO would make.. not.
- Why? It's risky, but so what? Max can win both championships on his own in that car.
- Never said Lawson should replace perez.....

If his form doesn't drastically improve soon, I can see him being paid out by Red Bull and fired. Or maybe swapped around with one of the Alpha Tauri drivers.

Right now Red Bull is fine and is already constructor's champion. But if and when a team emerges second consistently (McLaren looks like they are) Max can't reliably win the constructor's trophy on his own, even if he'd get 1st and fastest lap every race.

It's also a bit sad to see such a great car go to waste because it's driven by a "mediocre" driver.

Give Yuki 1 year to prove himself. Very likely is better than Perez, fixes their Lawson problem too
I'd stick Lawson in.
- And he would burn under the pressure like every other wean put into the red Bull too soon. No one since max and Daniel have been able to handle it other than a seasoned driver like Perez who is inconsistent but pulls bright spots from it. Put Lawson in there and he’ll crumble like Albon and Gasly both did
- Helmut Marko does not trust Liam, though. He finished ahead of Yuki again and still has no 2024 seat.

Would this mean Ric in AT and Lawson in RB for 2024.

That would be so stupid that it fits Marko. You cant put a rookie next to Max, that is doomed to fail and cost the team even more.
- You put anyone next to Max he is bound to fail.
- The only driver who went well against Max in the same team is Ricciardo.
I hope so. Or the other way around, I don't care.
- As far as we know Ric is in AT.

Man, he's having a bad day.

If he drove a Williams or Alpine, I'd agree, bad day. Perez is driving for a Top Team, that was career suicide
Idk what happened to him. Seems like he isnt in good mental state

He was put back in the race because he had a 5 sec penalty, which as far as the commentators were saying would have caused a grid place penalty for the next race, since he didn't finish the race.
To mitigate that he was brought out for two laps.
To do what? Why? They are first. What could they possibly achieve with sergio driving this bad? They've become constructor champion mostly without him.
He just has an off season. There is only one person to blame for it, his name is Sergio. Not Marko. Not Christian. Not Max.
Leave the mind games where they belong, at Mercedes. Today once again showed how it really works over there. Russel got shanked, gutted. Destroyed. Again.
- Russell wanted to stay out for longer which caused him to have older tyres followed by cars with newer tyres.
  He wanted to try what Carlos did with Lando giving tow to Hamilton to prevent Carlos from overtaking both. It was not possible since by having older tyres he was slower and would have made both of them slower leading to both being overtaken by Carlos. Hamilton was asked to give a tow to Russell the next lap which he did give but Carlos was already next to Russell, therefore he failed to benefit. In Singapore there are very few places to overtake which is not true in Suzuka.
  There is something called situational awareness. Russell might learn in the future if he keeps his head clean.
