Did you see any genuinely friendly, cordial or affectionate gesture lately, apart from the courtesy handshake after parking after a podium finish, the post-race group picture smiles and the scripted "good points for the team today" lines in post-race interviews ? Next time you see them together again on a podium, keep an eye on how they rather evasively celebrate the race result with champaign showers while the Prelude of Bizet's "Carmen" is blasting through the speakers. No need to sugar coat the situation: on a human level the relationship between Verstappen and Perez is broken beyond repair since many months. They tolerate each other by necessity but are capable of crashing into each other on track. No favors granted anymore. What happened in Monaco (2022 Q3), didn't stay in Monaco: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...4#post29547984 (cf. Dutch journalists close to Jos Verstappen's inner circle who spilled the beans and never got criticized for doing that by the Verstappens or Red Bull). Early June 2022 - F1 Azerbaijan 2022 - Baku race weekend: fun game played between Verstappen and Perez. That same race weekend, after the Baku post-race interviews Verstappen would hear about what had happened during the F1 Monaco 2022 Q3 and was shell-shocked by it: F1 Brazil 2022: trouble in paradise: F1 Austria 2023: almost a "Rosberg-Hamilton Spain 2016" or "Prost-Senna Suzuka 1989/1990" moment:

Whether that would help communication is another matter but for the time being everyone there seems to understand getting by with English. https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/10...learn-italian/ |

Broken link for me but I got your point. From F1 to spec racer class is sad. I really was rooting for Romain Grosjean in Indy car but sadly he became Paul Tracy without the wins.

It makes no difference who replaces Checo, if he does ever leave that is.
Max's unique driving style will beat anyone, Chas,Lew, Russ,Carlo or Fernie, you name them and MAX will beat them all. https://www.planetf1.com/news/max-ve...-pierre-wache/ |

No worries my friend, MAX will win in dark Singapore with last years winner Checo second, LEW has no chance of getting higher than 5th behind both Ferraris as he'll have RUSS all over him, the RBR DRS will be back to working at 100% MAX !

Put plainly, Max is an incredible driver, but he's an asshole to his teammates. Gasly and Albon were never a threat to him, but Checo and Ric both threatened him, and he pulled shit that deteriorated their relationship. Forced Ric to leave the team. Perez is willing to deal with it. Good luck to RB to find another driver to replace Checo, it's why he's been there for 3 years... |

I never really dug into what is or isn't included, I just assumed it was because well, why wouldn't it be. Regardless, it would still be super costly to put another championship contender as Max's teammate, and as I posted above, all that would do is create a terrible relationship between drivers.

Well when Max and Lewis are on 50m a year, there would not be much left. Relationship between Max and Checo is ok, dont believe everything you read.
