You can equate this to American Football...When a defense crushes the opponent's QB and sacks him...The fans cheer like crazy. It is not for the QB to be hurt, but the team just made a great play against the opponent. Mercedes in an opponent (I would argue RB's biggest rival)...Fans cheering Hamilton going into the wall was about Mercedes having an incident that took them out of qualifying. OF COURSE you are cheering that as a fan of RB. But no one is cheering for Hamilton to sustain bodily injury. Obviously their are some bad fans (on both sides), but the vast majority are cheering for the team. There is a fine line and unfortunately one that has been exploited by media to create headlines. It's a shame.09-07-2022 19:03

These comments literally baffle me. RB is basically tied for the Constructors after back to back disasters. Max gets car destroyed in both Silverstone and Hungary. Checo was out before it began in Silverstone due to the ridiculous sprint format. Then gets blasted by Bottas in Turn 1 last week….where btw he qualified 4th directly behind Max. Yet there they are basically tied for the title while also being 2nd and 5th in driver standings…all while Perez sits only 9 points out of 3rd. Can he improve the gap to Max, yes. And he’s doing that. Red Bull hasn’t been in this position in a long time….and Checo is a failure??? Crazy talk. He’s only gonna get better as this season continues, and tossing him aside without giving him next season to shine after he finally starts finding that edge week in/week out would be incredibly short sighted. He’s as good a number 2 to Max as any of the names listed (who let’s be real, all will have a year long learning curve in that RB). Moving away from Checo inevitability you take a temporary step back as that new driver gets up to speed. Does that make sense if winning now is the objective? Keep knee jerking guys outta that seat and you’ll never find your guy!! At some point RB has to show confidence in that number 2 pilot if they ever want consistent results. There literally is no better opportunity than now for them to do that. It’s a pivotal time for Horner and the crew and a pivotal decision. Now factor in the incredible teammate he’s shown to be and Max enjoys and respects him. They have the formula to beat Merc if they don’t get in there own way overthinking it. Again, I just don’t understand how people do not see breaking these two up after one season would be a complete mistake. Is there room for improvement, always….Has Checo underperformed ABSOLUTELY NOT!07-08-2021 02:04

Disagree...almost lapped because he got run off the track and the result was P10 behind a procession of slower cars holding him up...not to mention he took on front wing damage. And to say any previous driver could do as well...they didn't, that simple. The key to driving for RB is the handling of pressure. That is where Perez reigns supreme. The car is soooo much better? It's the same car as Max and he hasn't finished out of the Top 5 but once in Imola. Austria was a driven P5. Previous drivers had the exact same car as Max and taking results into account, simply did not deliver. You have no idea the pressure of that seat. He tried for that pass on Lando because I guarantee he was told to pass him IMMEDIATLEY and get behind Max. There is no "I can't do it"...because that is exactly how Gasley and Albon both responded. Perez has the balls and the skill to get it done and get it done when the team tells him to. Night and Day difference between him and his predecessors and is why he will be in RB for another year.16-07-2021 13:53
