So when will Perez get the boot? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

He talked a massive game during the opening races, but he's failed to get into Q3 at half the races so far. It's incredible how Verstappen just stomps everyone thrown into the other car, young or experienced, and in every area. I honestly don't think Checo "the tyre whisperer" Perez is better than Ver at tyre-saving, nor strategy, nor raw pace...

Is there anyone who RB would feasibly replace Per with? Maybe Norris? I'm not a huge fan personally, but I know he's got plenty of cachet at the moment.

Agree with other people here. As long as Max gets the championship and RB wins the constructors I don't think Perez needs to worry.

Of course getting 1 and 2 on the championship would be preferred but getting someone else on that car, adapting not only the car but the people too, the team, to the new driver and make sure they have the same goals, all that at this point in the tournament when I think it's safe to assume RB will win both championships, seems too much of a hassle and unneeded. Perez seems safe on that seat to me. Could be wrong tho.

Exactly, I don't see what will they gain by replacing Perez at this point. Whoever they put in that car will probably get similar results. So as long they bag WCC and he doesn't do something stupid his position should be safe.
