    There's plenty of nice flat Italian flag on the other side of the white line. If you're wide enough to be hitting the "aggressive" kerbs then tough.

    I'd love nothing more than for Gasly to outperform Perez this season.

    DTS taught me that Horner wouldn't give Gasly the drive because he was being stubborn and wanted to be proven right rather than anything to do with Gasly.

    I think it taught me that Red Bull have full access to all performance and telemetry data, and didn't believe there was any reason to expect Gasly to perform much better, regardless of how it looked from the outside.

    Perez is one of the best drivers on the grid and he's still struggling, the Red Bull is not easy to drive and is simply not as good a car as Max Verstappen makes it look, that's been becoming increasingly clear through a number of seasons and different teammates now.

    Ah, Gasley’s performance level went down the toilet too so it’s certainly not All down to Horner. They have a track record of breaking good drivers but developing some tip-top drivers like Verstappen, Ric and Seb. Perez isn’t a young driver so I think he’ll do much better then Gasley did.

    Gasley is doing much better again now that he’s out of the Red Bull.

    I think it would be Marko's call more than Horner as well.

    Looks like a tight weekend and a real car breaker. Seeing the snaps over oversteer were really nice, arcs back to the early 2000's to me.

    FP3 should be a tight one with RB trying to make up the pace, still fancy Max to be very close this weekend. Ferrari look solid as well!

    Yeah but I also think, like Albon, it came down to confidence going to the toilet as well. Red Bull have a history of just dumping drivers after promoting them too early.

    Since then Gasly has become a race winner and I think he properly deserved another go, but DTS just looked like it was Horner being stubborn. That’s just my thoughts.

    Meanwhile, Alan van der Merwe still has it:

    Well this has been the hardest break between F1 races in recent years so hopefully the mercs don’t kick on and we get a precession. I want a competitive season.

    I think you're completely right with Albon. I think his performance at AT was similar to Gasley and if he got a second shot at AT he would be similar to Gasley now. The way it worked out was complete luck of the draw for them If Albon was promoted first then he would be back at AT and Gasley would be out of F1.

    Perez almost certainly won't be affected by the politics and pressure the way the young drivers were. I think he'll still be well off Max's pace though

    Perez is having to change his driving style to suit the car. I'd say it'll take a few races but with his years of experience and determination I'd expect him to be on par with Max quickly. I would say there's at least a win for Checo this year.

    Perez is underperforming, that might change quickly but for now I miss to see the advantage to Albon or Gasly.

    He might adapt and improve but it’s a big claim to suggest he’ll be on par with Max. I think max is an exceptional talent and Perez is alright and very experienced - good overall but not excellent and certainly not on Max’s level. Only time will tell.

    ... Only time will tell. :D

    If he scores better than Max this year, does that mean he's better than Max, I jest! :p

    Here's hoping for a cracking season.

    Well once the drivers are told and all of them know what not to do then it’ll be fine.

    Spinning around in the gravel ? Hopefully that camera angle was making things look closer.
