I guess we'll see now if Perez is as big a straw man in the Red Bull cockpit as Kvyat and Gasly were.

Also wonder if RBR might regret this as Checo has history of banging wheels with team mates in all the other teams he's been in. However first he's gotta get on Max's pace.

Can you tell I'm an Alex fan.  ;)

Happy to see Perez get a seat for 2021 as he sure worked his ass off to show he deserves one.
Only a one year contract but that is all he should need to either prove he can race with Max in a similar car or he can't.
