I agree saying worse than Perez is well over the top, but its also true that Russell has done very little as of yet to prove that he's ever going to be a top, top F1 driver.
I can't see him being any better than a Button or Hill at this point.

Look at how many people Perez was bouncing off throughout the race. I think he's still got an stewards investigation happening post race too.
 
But did McLaren have any tyres to give him?

Mercedes went out of their way to have an extra set of brand new tyres. I wouldn't assume Norris could have done the same throwing on a set of used qualifying tyres.
Same situation as Ferrari, would have been used mediums at best. Softs wouldn't have lasted. Another set of hards would have been pretty pointless.

Lawson pit radio - And that's P9 for you today. I think that probably going to stay P9, it's 11s to Perez, but that's a red bull. Good effort. Good fighting out there. Ok mate, P9 should be pleased with that. We've got fast cars ahead of us. I think you've defended very very hard. It was a good job.

Lawson - Mate, I gave that everything, there's nothing left. Uuuuugh.

Pit - Yeah, that's what we need. That's why you're here mate. Ok mate. very good race, you've got a lot of coverage, should be pleased. You should be pleased. Same again next week. But enjoy it.

Lawson - Uuuuh copy that. Thank you guys for the hard work. It's good to get a couple of points. I feel like we've missed out on a bit, but you guys did a good job and I really gave that everything.

Pit - We will do a practice start festival in Japan. Practice start festival in Japan. Please note.

Lawson - I know mate, I know. Apologies guys 'cos it's ******* not good enough.

Pit - I know mate, that's why were here. We'll keep working. Good job mate. I'm happy with points. It's been a long sentence so far. I'm happy.
 
Albon pit radio - Chequered flag. Chequered flag. Ok, P11. P11.

Albon - He's just ****** dirty. Ooooh did he get anything for it?

Pit - He's under investigation for causing a collision with yourself and then Lawson as well.

Albon - Desperate, completely desperate.

Albon - Well done everyone, I think strategy was amazing there. We almost pulled off an amazing race. Still think we did. This is maybe our weakest track, so if we're like this on our weakest one then it's looking good.

Albon - He tried to do that move to me two or three times before and I had to just pull out last minute to stop him from hitting me, so sorry, I can't do that every single time he takes a lunge. I take avoiding action I thought it was under control, but he didn't.

James - Was a good race Alex. As you say, strategy was on point. You did the best with what you had there. Good work. We'll review it after the race.

Aston dropping back rapidly in the constructors now. Losing out to Mercedes and Ferrari and McLaren closing in. Especially with both McLarens in the points, neither Aston scoring today.

But they said the were aiming for P2 in the Constructors recently. Got their work cut out for them.
 
Perez is terrible, Sainz drove extremely well hopefully this rise in his confidence keeps going, he’s doing better than I expected.
I don’t blame Russell or the team, they gave it a good go and that’s what is important. Learn and move on.
 
I really wanted GR to hold off Lewis and get on the podium after watching the Merc come back in the last few laps,
but as soon as he chucked it into the wall i thought well FU then you don't deserve it... congrats to Lewis
