I am again amazed that people give a vote for DotD to Perez for driving through the field. While I agree it does provide something to look at, realistically, anything but a second place in qualifying and race is a failure. He has a car that is so much faster than anything else, and he should not be driving through traffic.
While I'm pouring petrol on a smouldering fire I might as well toss out another controversial opinion. I think the first corner action on the first lap shows why Charles Leclerc will never become a world champion. He is too meek. A truly ruthless driver of the calibre of Schumacher or Senna (say like Hamilton or Verstappen) would have turned in hard. The Championship is over and what's left to do is establish you wont be a doormat in the future. Leclerc didn't. He doesn't have the spirit. I truly think so. He is a phenomenally talent, but not a champion.
