Checo is anyting but a loose cannon
Ocon proved he's exactly that in the extremely short time he was in F1.
I'll have to disagree with you mate, Checo imo was utterly ruthless to the point of throwing away good team results by forcing Ocon into collisions. Let's face the facts, Checo only has a seat thanks to his Carlos Slim backing and his actions when the team folded last year - he washed up big time at Maclaren ond imo proved conclusively he was not top driver material.
Everytime they came together, it was Perez who was driving dirty. The incident that happened between Mad Max and Ocon in Brazil last year, it was ignorant swerve by Max that cost Ocon, who was simply doing his job. If there was anyone who has been a loose cannon, it has been Perez when Ocon was driving with him. You only have to look at his incidents with Massa in Canada and last year with Sirotkin in Singapore. That tells you the recklessness of Perez.
This is what gets you points here, outright incorrect claims:
- Ocon (90-10) caused Baku that cost FI possibly double podium or at least a podium
- Singapore (70-30) unless you don't understant how corners work
- Spa was 50-50--sh AFAIR
- vs Verstappen it wasn't a great unlapping overtake but collision was Verstappen's fault
He tried time and time again moves that don't work and ended up in collisions. it would make some sense if he had some great risky overtakes (edit: like Perez
) on his record but I don't recall anything like that. His rececraft was not improving
-His race pace was weak compared to Perez 90% of the time, even if you consider Perez top in that regard it's not great.
- His qualifying in the second season was very solid so that alone makes a case for an F1 seat over Albon,
Giovinazzi, Raikkonen, Stroll obviously
and similar drivers.
- Mercedes rumours were always silly, since Bottas is better at everything
