Awesome for Sainz to get the win, wouldn't mind seeing him cash on a few more wins to finish his time at Ferrari.

Haha ok lejerc
Ooohh... big stink eye from LeClerc to Sainz then.
Wonder how he will go with Hamilton if he gets back on his championship form?

Red Bull have themselves to blame for Perez still being in that seat, they don't deserve to win anything.

Oscar goes from 17th to in the points and sour Brundle can only say he did a decent job. If it was a Brit who did that he’d carrying on about how hard it is to pass on this track. It really is the most biased commentary in sport.
Perez has cost Red Bull the constructors title, they give Danny boy the flick, but Checo is performing way worse in a better car! Perez should be replaced by the next race. In fact i would put Ricciardo in the seat for the last 4 races.

Was it poor?
He and Perez started on opposite sides of the track, it could have been nothing more than Oscar taking evasive action to avoid Tsunosa/Albon.
It may have been a great start just by him avoiding the trouble up ahead and keeping himself in the race.
Dont think Dan would do it anymore.
Yes it was. Took him several laps to just get past the Saubers.
He would have the cavalier attitude that is needed right now, i think he could get one more squeeze of the lemon out of it. Max is doing everything he can including some dubious tactics, but Ricciardo could easily sneak under their guard? Red Bull might lose the drivers championship as well unless they take drastic action in the last 4 races. Either that or put Lawson or Yuki in the seat now! Ricciardo rarely crashes, they must get points from the 2 car.
I think they could do worse than chuck Lawson in, hes driven that car a bit this year.

Daniel is done both physically and mentally. He's retired.
If they were going to make a change (and I doubt they will) it would be to put one of the RBs in there, and then promote Hadjar for a few races (even if it means sacrificing his F2 season).
Which is why they won't.
Then they will lose the drivers championship along with the constructors, they need Danny Ric's experience in a last ditch effort to stave off what is fast becoming an inevitability. Daniel was certainly not the worst driver on the gird, Yuki and Lawson don't have the know how just yet to help win a championship, i'd put my money on an 8 time winner who just might?
They wont lose the drivers title.

And how exactly will Daniel help them win the drivers?
He would probably have the same pace Sergio has if not slightly better. He'd be behind the Mercs and a non-factor in the remaining races.
Yep we all love Danny Ric, but hes done.
On a normal weekend both Mclarens would be comfortably in front of him.

Big-brain stuff from the mclaren pitwall leaving Oscar out here....

The contract extension for Perez just gets worse and worse now, yes Danny Ric wasn't flying, but there were glimmers, you cant say the same thing for Perez this year.
Yuki shouldn't be feeling too secure either, he hasn't exactly put it beyond doubt.

Sergio should at least announce his retirement so he can get a better farewell than Daniel did. They will keep him in the car for the rest of the year, but I see no reason outside of $ that he stays in F1 for 2025.
He has underperformed in this car far greater than Daniel underperformed in the RB.
Perhaps though he could get the Audi drive. Could be the return of Perez and Hulk as teammates.

Yep. Feels like it was on the cusp of him getting booted and Daniel getting the seat to finish the year.
Instead they backed out and probably sapped the last bit of puff Ric had left in him.
Its hard to believe it could have gone any worse for RB than the path they ended up choosing.
They're probably locked into it now to finish the season for fear of further embarrassment. But Perez is almost certainly gone at this point. Lawson's shown enough fight in two races to get the seat. Tsunoda is crumbling under the challenge. Lawson does have the advantage of nothing to lose / no expectations though.
Yuki's signed for next year already so either way he's in the sister car next year. Beyond that who knows.

pretty boring race. gave it away after an hour
Asked if the man known as “Checo” will finish the season after the dismal result in Mexico City, Horner replied: “Look, it’s a performance-based business. There comes a point in time that difficult decisions have to be made.”
