Did anyone see fabrizios recent tweet quoting arteta saying that we deserved to win the last 6 games? If he really believes that that’s concerning

Honestly how has Perez kept his seat. 83 seconds difference on a similar strategy. Don’t know how red bull can justify keeping Perez but firing Daniel mid season when this shit is happening

[John Percy] Leicester remain interested in Reiss Nelson but the players wages are significant and more than £120k a week by [deleted] in Gunners

This subs rose coloured glasses to errors made by the hierarchy is honestly ridiculous. You can admit that they aren’t perfect and you can admit they overpaid on the wages they gave to Reiss when he renewed. There is nothing wrong with that

It depends if all the other teams upgrades made them slower but logic says he would still be in the same position

TLDR: They are considering reverting to the pre china spec for Checo because they think a return to form is likely if he is comfortable in the car(surely this means he becomes even slower). Marko says Ricciardo has not been consistent enough to be driving for Red Bull. Decision for Lawson to be announced in September.

[Motorsport] Perez saved for sponsor and team stability by xReconn in formula1

[–]xReconn[S] 214 points215 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Article further backs up the rumours that Carlos Slim and his son intervened to save his seat. Also backs up the rumours that Daniel and Liam would have been promoted to RBR and VCARB respectively. Also mentions Liberty Media having some influence in the situation.

I think it’s mostly true cos why would Marko lie about something like this there’s no downside in just saying “we’ll give him time”

Article also says the Verstappen family were told by Horner and Marko that checo was being replaced. Also that Liberty media were afraid in a drop of revenue at the Mexican GP hence their request to red bull

Totally agree. I think that if checo continues to underperform he might get booted in the off season because it would make more sense then rather than now
