    I agree he put in a strong race, but I suspect his goose is cooked at this point. It’s surely too late when you’ve got Ric, Law and Tsu all waiting eagerly in the wings.

      If he can consistently finish 2-4 and qualify better, he can help play pit games. That’s all that’s needed to keep his spot. I don’t think Tsunoda or Lawson are safe choices so he’d need to do many mistakes like in Mexico before that could become real imho.

        You may well be right. I guess Tsuonda and Lawson would probably fare no better fundamentally and lack Perez’s experience, but an on-form Ricciardo is a juicy prospect, surely?

          Yeah, but if Perez can prove himself a known, consistent variable, I don’t think it would make sense to switch it up. Neither would be a future WC so they need reliability from day 1 in 2024.
