What are the highlights of the Canadian GP race weekend?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Driver ratings, I know how much you have all missed hearing our numbers out of 10 for all of the drivers and sprint weekends always make it. again that little bit harder right yeah it feels like every weekend at the moment is a sprint do you feel like everyone are trying to do this like hey guys maybe you can get used to this maybe maybe next year and the year after we can have all of them because i know for a fact they would love to do that because i'm sure the viewing figures are up compared to practice but anyway driver ratings tommy you uh you confident with this one Always. Mine are always absolutely correct. Correct, yes.
Yeah, that's the right word. Yeah, yeah. For your opinion, they are correct indeed. Let's get straight into it then, shall we? And begin with Sergio Perez. Sprint qualified 17th, finished the sprint in 14th, started the main race in 20th and did not finish the main race. I am giving Sergio Perez a whopping 7 out of 10. I thought it was a very strong performance from Perez. One that you have to sit up and take note for the drivers at the back. And Perez is making Bottas look like a rookie at the moment. And look, I'm not going to apologise just yet because obviously I backed Bottas, mainly because it's just fun to go for something that you're not going for, Tommy. Well, everyone went for it, didn't they?
Not everyone. Some people, it was a little bit closer than maybe you think. But Perez, another great weekend, it has to be said, in a Cadillac that is making improvements. And I think the team themselves are doing a phenomenal job to be anywhere near any team. You know, the fact that they are Fighting with Aston Martin, if you'd have told them that coming into the season, they would have thought they were fighting for points and for podiums. But no, that's not the case. But Perez, very, very strong indeed. Finishing the sprint on the road in 11th. Of course, he was a little bit cheeky with Lawson. I might have even given him an eight, had it not been for the squeeze on Lawson, which tumbled him down the order in the sprint.
But overall, until his suspension went, it was a great weekend.
I've also gone for a 7 out of 10 for Sergio Perez. I think, once again, Perez is showing an amazing job in a car that if there were two botasses in that car, we'd just be saying, the car's rubbish, this is what Cadillac can do, they're at the back. And Perez somehow is mixing it with not just the Aston Martins, but sometimes the midfielders. I think the sprint was, of course, the standout where he was up in 11th on the road. Of course, he... uh got a bit over excited as he does with uh when liam lawson's behind him uh particularly always liam lawson uh and that history there continues but it was still a fantastic race he was well clear of bottas in the main race both qualifying sessions and perez is doing a fantastic job it has to be said he is racing uh you know like his life depends on it and he's he's doing really really well in a car that that shouldn't be there
until the car inevitably disintegrates or the mirror falls off or the wheel falls off or whatever it does good old Cadillac the fans not impressed at all five out of ten for Sergio Perez ridiculous absolutely ridiculous lazy five as we that's a lazy five come on guys lock into Perez's race at the back Valtteri Bottas, sprint qualified 20th, finished the sprint in 17th, started the main race in 22nd and finished the main race in 16th.
I have gone for a 3 out of 10 for Valtteri Bottas. It was a Lance Stroll-esque performance, I think. You look at his deficit in qualifying, he messed up his qualifying lap as well. He was nowhere near Perez, almost like a second a lap slower, I think even more actually. If you look at it, he was a minute behind Perez when Perez retired, got a speeding penalty in the pit lane again. And yeah, Valtteri really needs to kind of lock in. And I know he's there for the vibes. But look, we know he's a great driver and we know what he can deliver in the past.
