I keep hearing that Checo Isn’t performing well.
I see it this way: so far this year, he has had 2 wins, 5 podiums, 2 pole positions, 2 fastest laps, and a 1st and 2nd in sprint races.
With the exception of Monaco, he has finished in the top 6.
Sure, he’s no Max Verstappen, and the team knows that, but he is putting his Red Bull towards the top pretty consistently. He gets screwed sometimes in qualifying, but he makes it up and scores good points for the team.
He’s second in the driver’s championship pretty handily as well.
Maybe I’m missing some context, so I’d like to know what the rest of you think about it.
If Red Bull were in a tight battle with the constructors Checo would easily cost them the title.
I feel like he’s actually been getting a pass because its not been a tight battle between Red Bull and someone else.
Only recently when he went from mediocre to absolutely abysmal did people start to really notice. Because how could you not.
