Oh wow, this is going to make for some confused and misleading posts and articles in the next few days!
Marketing is an interesting one because Red Bull have one financial objective: marketing for their drinks. I've heard it said that Perez was very good for Red Bull marketing in Latin America as he's a popular guy, I don't see why Tsunoda or Lawson couldn't fit into the "Xtreme Dude-Bro" marketing role if they needed them to.
I guess that's the level of influence FOM have over the teams, we know there's always underhand stuff going on. I think the rumour was discussed seriously but it was a while back and I can't remember where I read it so might have all been rubbish, who knows.
He was able to beat Verstappen on quite a few occasions before so he's definitely lost something since then
initial debris posed minimal risk until worsened by a collision
A collision which seemed inevitable and then caused significant risk... Not really minimal risk then!
They hear the rumours too, I guess
I think the original might actually have been the first 3D game I ever played. Nice to see it getting some attention as I remember it being quite good (though I was a child, so who knows!)
You sound just like the magistrate!
The rumour was that F1 stepped in to stop them firing him before the Mexican GP as it would hurt ticket sales. Given Red Bull's normally brutal approach to cutting dead wood, I can believe it.
Definitely a shame for Perez as it's not like he's the worst driver on the grid, but he's definitely lost what he had and probably won't be surprised to have lost his seat.
All games are like this
Speak for yourself, this is the first game I've played since PoGo came out that even has microtransactions in it!
This actually looks pretty fun, f1 meets micro machines or original GTA. I vaguely remember playing something like it on a Windows 9X machine called something like F2000.
