    “If Max wins races again and Sergio can finish third or fourth, things will look different again. But as I said, the focus is primarily on the drivers’ title.”

    Sergio’s average finish is 8th.

    Asking Max to win is like asking a boulder to be heavy. Asking perez to finish fourth? Might as well ask him to cure cancer too.

      Considering that McLaren and arguably even Ferrari/merc, depending on the track, have jumped them on car performance, even Verstappen victories are very unlikely. I don’t know how they think perez is finishing anywhere near the podium in the current situation.
