After a strong run of form earlier in the year, Perez's recent results in F1 have been disappointing - and he risks losing third place in the championship. Opinion [Prime]:
It would make the life of a Formula 1 team that bit easier if their drivers didn’t have pesky preferences and a personality all of their own in the cockpit. Total uniformity to fall perfectly in line with the data is the ideal. Just not very often the reality.
Williams was perhaps a little fortunate last weekend in the circumstances. The team credited a small portion of Nyck de Vries’ stellar Italian Grand Prix cameo to him only requiring minor set-up tweaks compared to the seat’s usual occupant Alex Albon. The Thai-Brit, in turn, has a broadly similar driving style to teammate Nicholas Latifi. That meant a good baseline understanding to help Formula E champion de Vries plug in and play.
