It's unacceptable for any teams drivers to take each other out of the race. Remember they're only interested in the Constructor's championship in the first instance. That's where the money lies - points make prizes. There's no money for them in the Driver's championship I believe.
Max and Sergio can be quite uncompromising!

While I think Albon's been a bit shortchanged at Red Bull I think they've made the right call in hiring Perez. I actually think he could end up with more points at the end of the next season than Max purely down to his experience and consistency.
Max is *really* good, but having the team pretty much treat him as the only driver the last few years I think has harmed his overall skill set a bit. To the point where he's constantly overdriving a poorly balanced car rather than develop it fully.
Perez is more likely to take the car and find out how to get it to the end of a race with as many points as possible, whereas Max is more likely to not finish but win a couple of races.

Correct, all the drivers get from CVC is the trophies. Their money comes from their salaries and any contractual bonuses from their teams, plus any personal (as opposed to team) sponsorship monies.

@chrism Sorry Chris - I was referring to the teams rather than the drivers in that post.

Except if you were Michael Schumacher he would have exempt from such nonsense!

Steve Jones has a habit of addressing people with whom he is impressed as "Sir".
I hope next year that he doesn't forget when talking to Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton MBE HonFREng.

So long, Murray. There hasn't been and never will be another commentator like you.

[bridgiesimon]

One sad Simon
