I don't think anyone had George winning today's race in their bingo card!

Perez, Leclerc, Norris all had mega fumbles. Don't think it was enough for Perez to retain his seat. Let's see what happens over the course of the summer break.

Perez, absolutely 100% has to lose his seat if RB cares about winning. Not only did he somehow go backwards to P8 AGAIN on a day the car was clearly good enough for more, he managed to impede Verstappen indirectly for several laps, likely costing Max P4 at least.

The obvious choice is Riccy, he's probably an improvement and he should be in the right mental state to be a clear #2.

I still wonder why they don't give Tsunoda a shot at least though, he's been good all year and purely on track, he deserves it. He must be struggling with professionalism off track still.

I also don't understand why Lawson is under consideration for the other RB seat. Let him ease into it, no need to rush it, let him VCARB it rest of the year.

You're right with Ricciardo's mental state and how well he might suit a #2 driver role, even though I totally agree Tsunoda has been better on track all year and really should be in with a better chance. I just don't think Tsunoda would be happy being #2, his blow-up on the radio earlier this year was rough 😬
