Congratulations IamLegend, your non sense comments finally motivated me to register so I can comment.
What you are stating is childish and immature, It almost makes me think you must be ignorant and racist. Because there is no other way to explain it.
Force India can thank Checo for all the good drives, podiums, points and development that along with the team have been achieved.
Perez has real racer's blood in his veins and that's why he behaves this way, I can only picture you cheering for Max Verstapen if it would have been him not letting the team mate pass.
Bob Freely has stated that there were no ORDERS given, so no orders were ignored here.
Anyways, next time just give real arguments, your comments only pollutes this nice forum.

Wow, first time an Indian living in the US is called a racist, oh well there's a first time for everything. Okay here's why I think SFi need to really let Perez know that he has to get his act together:
From the start of the season he's been a bit too vocal from last year about how inept the car has been and even though SFi have improved and are the best in the midfield currently, he's saying he's been driving the wheels off the car to get a good result. Someone in this conversation thread pointed out brilliantly that in the Canadian GP Ocon one up'ed him, had great race pace, strategy and tire conservation to have a fair go at a rival and if you noticed throughout the season, he first struggled in qualifying but he's taken care of that aspect and with his race craft been doing so well thus far with the same machinery. I'm really impressed by this rookie and expect great things for him.
But I really felt Sergio let down the team, he was radioed 5 times and it was a fair deal, the place would have been swapped back! I didn't have that information beforehand and that's what made me mad, I read it on jamesallenf1 and they apparently looked up the radio logs to get this information. Like the article says, on any other given Sunday in the prior years SFi wouldn't have gotten so much spotlight for this gaffe but now that they are a solid mid-fielder and a potential podium finisher all eyes will be on them. So SFi should have been more assertive to give up the position temporarily or forced him to come into pits, but that's in hindsight like I mentioned already. I'm glad that Vijay Mallaya has tweeted about coming up with a strategy if such a situation does occur and the team can be more assertive.
On the other hand, just for comparison's sake, Sergio is a great talent but talent only takes you so far, but he's not a pay driver - he's paid a salary from SFi so he's a salaried employee for all intensive purposes, so if I were in his shoes I'd listen to my employer. He brings a bit of the sponsors from Mexico, so what? Tomorrow if Ocon gets it from France should he throw his weight around the team like what Sergio is doing?
Work ethic is another aspect that plays a big part in a racer's career. The one shining example I'd like to take is Michael Schumacher, remind me one time in his career he's talked negatively about the team or any actions that has shown him in that light? I think this is one of the reasons he's been so successful. I haven't seen that in Hamilton or Alonso - both were quick to talk about sabotage and team conspiring to make the driver lose a championship at one or more points in their career, but I do see a lot of Schumacher's ethic in Ocon, he's respectful and grateful of the team, good work ethic, talented and brings a lot of positive spirit to the team. I was just amazed how mature he was in his approach, "My time will come" wow, that's a winner right there.
Oh and also I'm not a Max Verstappen fan, in the previous iterations of the F1 car he might have looked spectacular with his moving under the braking stunt to block drivers, but I doubt you'll see all that tactics from cars of this generation (infact I haven't seen it all season thus far) simple reason being more downforce, grip and shorter braking distance, there's no time for all this monkey tricks.
That's my 2 cents, if Sergio wants to continue in this team, he should respect their decisions and I do sincerely hope SFi become more assertive, if he feels he's too good for the outfit, well I'd be the first to wish him good luck and be on his way. I'm very excited about Ocon and the prospect of getting either another great rookie or Kubica (wishful thinking) to take this seat, cheers!
