To add to the previous slide,
A similar situation occurred in 2021 with the standings being
VER: 395.5 Points
PER: 190 [-205.5] Points
Meaning Perez was closer to Mazepin in the standings than he was to his teammate, ultimately costing Red Bull the constructors championship.
With Sergio Perez’s atrocious weekend at the Mexican Grand Prix, this is how the championship looks
VER: 491 Points
PER: 240 [-251] Points
This means that Perez is closer to Latifi in the standings than he is to Max and Latifi hasn’t even competed this year 😭
What if I told you they’ve somehow magically managed to bin all that and are now 8 tenths slower than last year at COTA 💀
