Yikes Perez
Perez always will be best of the rest of top 4 team drivers, so his ranking here is not suprising.
I was suprised that he didn't get jumped by Hulkenberg on this grid too, with way he has been performing.
Perez is under pressure this weekend. He needs to win the race for Red Bull with Verstappen having a significant grid drop in regards to engine parts. If Verstappen can get some points he'll have a good result, so it's up to Perez to compensate.
If Perez crashes out again at a crucial time, his seat will be lost for next year if not for this year. Maybe putting Lawson in and getting him up to speed fast is worth more to Red Bull than Perez fighting with Hulk for P9 - P10.
Hamilton being above the McLarens is kinda crazy.
Actually, given McLaren's strategy calls recently, maybe it isn't actually that crazy...
