I hope he does well. But why do you think that if he does well in one race they will cool off? Especially given the comments about the insanity (lack of logic) of the rumor mill?

The narrative will be... What changed? Why is he so inconsistent? Does this change the plans to replace him? Maybe he knows he is being replaced so he no longer has pressure on him? Etc.

The only way for the talk to go away is for him to put in a serious string of good performance and there is not enough races in the season for him to do that. The talk about his performance will continue (fair or not).

Well DR had a couple of bad races and they were replacing him with Lawson as DR had lost his mojo as alot of supporters suggested. Now he has quali and placed 7 and he is The Man again. Much like Perez, he will do well this week and the hounds will be off his back.
