What challenges did the drivers face during the Monaco GP?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. We are officially cosy back in our setups. No sun to be had. Vitamin D already lacking, Tommy. But we're here. Driver ratings. Usually Monaco is a relatively straightforward one, but I'm not sure whether this one will be. I can't wait for this one.
I'm looking forward to this one because the biggest gripe is that with driver ratings is we just... Sometimes it's too easy to agree. And there's so many kind of incidents here where I think hopefully we've gone different in how much you put driver blame, how much you put team blame. There's incidents where... Is it even the driver's fault sometimes? Things like that. So I think it's going to be a very, very interesting one. And there's going to be a lot of disagreements with each other as well as everyone else. So that's always fun.
That's the beauty of Formula One. So let's remain respectful. Right, let's begin with Cadillac driver Sergio Perez. He had a rather eventful race. I'm going to give Sergio Perez... Oh, it's going to be... Oh, this is so difficult. A 6 out of 10 for Checo. Now, you might be thinking, what do you mean, Matt? He finished 10th. He'd scored a point until he got a penalty. But... The amount, like the actual mistakes that he made were reasonably careless, if we're going to be completely honest here. One being the initial start where he just drove into the wrong grid box. He literally started from 16th rather than 18th, gets a drive-through penalty. But then he also has his point taken away at the end. So he does a great race, keeps it out the wall.
The car's shocking. But then at the restart, after the red flag, he's angled his car out of the grid box and got a 10-second penalty. So it is such a shame for Perez. Because without that, we could be talking 8, 9, 10 out of 10. It's a point for Cadillac. But instead, he finishes 15th, I will say. Outpaced Bottas the entire weekend. He is cooking his teammate significantly at the moment. So a well done for that side. But it seems like just these small errors cost him massively in this one.
I'm really annoyed because all the talk of we're going to be different. I've also gone for a 6-0 to Sergio Perez. And this one really hurts because I think his actual driving ability on track is a 9, maybe a 10. Because I think, let's start with the positives of Perez. He was so quick this weekend. He nearly got into Q2. By the tiniest margin, this was despite his brakes catching fire seemingly all the time during the practice sessions. And then in the main race, he's obviously finished 10th on the road. Yes, there's been a load of retirements and chaos that's helped him get there. But he's drove a very good race. And the problem is, it's two massive errors. One particularly at the end, because of course, that's the thing that's knocked him way down the order with a 10 second penalty.
that's cost him a massive result and that could be you know the race that cad like might only get a point all year so i have to downgrade him quite harshly um so i can only go for for a six when i think had he lined up in his grid box correctly at the end uh and also at the start of the race we're probably even looking like a nine or a ten here but Sadly for Perez, you know, I'm sure he's more gutted about drive ratings than the actual point itself.
Oh yeah, devastated. Absolutely devastated. Gutted for him. The fans gave Sergio Perez a 7 out of 10. Let's now move to Valtoripotas. Qualified P20 and did not finish.
I've gone for a four out of 10 for Bottas. He was just absolutely useless again, to be honest, nowhere near Perez. I know your team Perez, but I mean, well, he is, he's like, we're going to be honest here. He's, he's having a shocker at the moment and his, he's getting like, really comprehensively beaten by Perez and yeah he's having an absolute shocker so Bottas the car didn't look that great it looked pretty horrible watching the onboards that we saw and stuff but his teammate is obviously doing incredible things and Bottas just doesn't seem up to scratch at the moment nowhere near again obviously the DNF wasn't his fault but qualifying which is meant to be his speciality just nowhere
