Matt Gallagher 0:05
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P One Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Driver ratings all baby. Two thirds terrible racing and one third utter carnage. Tommy, you've locked and loaded. You've got your twenty two grades ready to go. How confident are you of these ones?
Tom Bellingham 0:27
Uh they're well they're a hundred percent correct as always, uh with drive ratings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This I think more than any other one is so based on opinion. So firstly, everyone is allowed their own opinion of what they think is correct. What I never knew that and because yeah, uh I think there'll be a lot of disagreements, maybe with each other, certainly with some of the fan grades. And And it's no surprise because it was a race where it was so chaotic at the end, you have to value you can't just look at a result, you have to think about the consequences and the m good fortune and bad like bad luck and loads loads of different things as well. Ladies. So um I I like these ones. I I like them when there's actually more some more spice to it, so bring it up.
Tom Bellingham 1:13

Matt Gallagher 1:13

Tom Bellingham 1:15
Exactly. exactly.

Matt Gallagher 2:02
Get on that train.

How do Matt and Tommy promote the upcoming P 1 Live Show tickets?

Matt Gallagher 2:02
Get on that train. Get on that train for that hour if you're. you if you want. I mean it's yeah, I'm not gonna force you, but it's it's a great night out, I promise you. See ya. T I X dot T O forward slash P one live and go and get your tickets before they run out. Okay, let's get into it. Driver ratings. Sergio Perez started twentieth, finished fourteenth. Sheco. Is going to receive A seven out of ten from myself. Uh a very uh and that is considering as well, I think he finished last on the track. Is it who d who did he get promoted past? Boreto. Yeah. So on track he finished last and got gets promoted because of Bortoletto. Um But I think it was a strong, strong weekend from from Perez. Uh he himself basically was buzzing after the water.
Matt Gallagher 2:50
Uh which is quite something. Um but yeah, I think he he fully deserves uh some credit here. Just he he made botas, and I think, you know, Valtry did have some issues. We'll get onto that and and the reason why he crashed out and stuff. But I I thought these weekends were over where Checo would just fully almost embarrass Botass with how quick he he was. And that's what I think we saw this weekend. Yes, there are some external factors for sure that Cadillac is never reliable, but uh Checo was just on another planet compared to his teammate, and so I think he deserves uh a high ish grade.
Tom Bellingham 3:25
I have gone for an eight out of ten for Sergio Perez. Uh fantastic pace. Unluck lucky in qualifying that he had to have bought his lap. Um, you know, it was a case of what might have been I I think it looked like he maybe could have challenged for a Q two. Cadillac uh, you know, still very, very poor, as we saw in the hands of his teammate. And he mixed it with other cars like Audi's Williams. Uh he was 35 seconds down the road on his teammate after 20 laps, absolutely miles ahead, ran as high as twelfth at one point, no mistakes in the race. Um so have to applaud it. I think it's a fantastic drive. And this is the kind of thing what drive ratings is all about. You know, it's rewarding the kind of drivers that that you didn't see that didn't get um you know uh the result because some

Why did they give Sergio Perez an eight‑out‑of‑ten rating?

Tom Bellingham 4:15
Sadly for him, he was one place away from the elusive thirteenth to put him ahead of Bottas in the title, but the uh still behind him in the championship.
