Perez has fecked up the constructors for RB this season, he was needed to get big points consistently and has failed big time.

It would put him behind Leclerc and Max.
Max wont care but Leclerc will be even more steaming when he sees that has robbed him of a podium.
Be surprised if McLaren dont raise it. +/- 2 points in constructors could decide the title in the end.
RedBull need to promote Tsunoda and look beyond this hype created around Colapinto. Lawson hasn't impressed me with his speed either.
Ofcourse they'd have to drop Perez first.

Another thing I was just thinking about after watching that Leclerc team radio video again, that if Hamilton has still got his mojo next season and has a decent car, I think he'll wipe the floor with Leclerc, more so because of Leclercs temperament than anything else.
There he is at the end of that race whinging because Sainz ended up on the podium, when the only thing that matters now for Ferrari, and should matter to him, other than race wins, is gaining as many points as possible over McLaren, which they did today.
He's way too hot headed sometimes, and in a proper title fight that's going to go against him big time.

It's all about being in the right car at the right time as Alonso (always wrong car, mostly), Hamilton (Mercedes gamble in 2013) and Vettel (4 straight WDCs) have shown.
2026 is the huge unwanted by fans, reset so we will probably have a ridiculous donation by one driver and one team for a few seasons again.
I'd have Lawson in the seat over Yuki all day long personally. Yuki has done feck all to show he deserves to be in F1 all these seasons never mind in a seat next to Verstappen.
I'd pick Lawson too personally, but Tsunoda has beaten his teammates and scored decent points which is all you can ask for in the cars he's driving.
I think Lewis with a good car under him will do very well, could he be a WC contender, it’s very possible.
Yep I agree there.
Tsunoda's comfortably beaten his teammates 2 years in a row in the "junior" team, don't know what more he could have done tbh. And Lawson honestly doesn't impress me with his pace.
Verstappen in a league of his own right now, a legend of a driver. He put in some legendary drives this season, made a real difference to the World title.
Next season could be a classic as the advantage in performance seems to be slipping away from RB. I suspect Hamilton in a Ferrari next year could be the man to beat, he has a similar race IQ to Verstappen.

I really don't get the criticism Russell gets here.
The advantage already slept long ago.
His best year in my opinion.
First time he hasn’t had the best car for the majority of the year, or the Masi decision.
He has been almost perfect this year. Still had a tendency to push the rules when challenged. Hopefully next year we get a title fight with Max and someone he isn’t massively mentally stronger than
It certainly won't be because of his driving because he is clearly past his best. One or two good races in another poor season, and this is what, his third average/poor season in a row and suddenly you think he will wipe the floor with Leclerc next season who is arguably the second best driver on the grid this season, and probably overall in last three seasons anyway.
Amazing as always from unbiased Hamilton fans. I just want to know based on what some of you people think that is still one of the quickest drivers on the grid, because he certainly wasn't anywhere near that level for years now, it's quite obvious the age combined with lack of motivation because Max is clearly the quicker driver has caught him up. And it seems that is completely fine for him, he talks and drives like he is half retired, but his fans can't seem to swalow it.
Definitely his best WDC season so far. Had the fastest car for the first part of the season by a margin, especially first 6 races, but then held off the McLaren challenge when he didnt. Needs to stop doing the on track dirty stuff when under real pressure as he has all the required talent to race without it.
If Red Bull give him another WDC contender car, let's hope someone other than the pitiful Norris and McLaren pitwall will be the opposition. A Ferrari challenge from both Hamilton and Leclerc, plus Russell in the Mercedes could be really interesting.
Will be a very tight season as all resources (as much as possible) will be on the 2026 cars and new ruleset.
13 points for me.7.5 points WTF
Nice
Think it's mostly bc he often looks like the kid who's parents told him he s their favorite and acts accordingly nerdy. I at least don't have anything against him otherwise. He just seems a bit of a dork is all.
I was trying to avoid the result but I can't find any catchup streams and the footy is on soon so I've just looked at the results...
Delighted for Russell and well done to Max. Hopefully Red Bull stop their dominance next year with Newey out of the picture.

First of all I'm far from a Hamilton fan, don't like him that much at all actually, but he is obviously a very talented driver. Which brings me on to my second point, did you bother reading the whole post? Or just cherry picked that bit to have a whinge? I said IF Hamilton still has his mojo, if he doesn't anymore then he won't wipe the floor with him at all, it'll be the other way around.

Very very nice interview even a non Max fan would probably like. The stuff starting around the 7 min mark hits hard though. I'm a fair amount older than Max now and I didn't start thinking about that until the last few years and already spent way too much of my time working myself silly. Spending time with the ones you love trumps everything in the end.
Nice answers but rubbish questions. Asking the same thing five or six different ways.
