    Hamilton I guess.

    Special Embarrassment of the Day award to Perez for asking his teammate to slow down and tow him while driving an identical car. Red Bull must be wondering what to do with Perez at this point, it's not like there's anyone to promote or poach who would
    likely do much better.

    that is a little disingenuous to Perez considering the other Red-bull is
    being driven by Max. a driver who can hold his own against Lewis (at
    least for some time), even when his cars is noticeably inferior.

    Max is in a strong position for his first WDC this season & if he does
    not make it it will only be a matter of time.
    If Lewis does manage to get his 8th, this race will have been a pivotal
    moment alongside Bacu

    Despite an obviously dominant setup this weekend...

    ...it's still got to be Hamilton.

    As I said earlier about the sprint, he didn't really put a single foot
    wrong.

    Surely Perez is in a car setup up specifically so as to not embarrass
    the orange (ooops golden) one ?

    He's there to get maximum points and to be useful in the pitstop strategy.

    So why 'embarrassment' ? For asking not to be just the mule ?

    Gasly? (but that would involve Marko admitting he was wrong, an unlikely scenario).

    Surely it must be clear to everyone that the setup of these cars can be
    so driver specific that it takes sometimes most of a season for one of
    the drivers on a team to get up to speed.

    Or is Ricciardo's McLaren set up specifically so as not to embarrass Norris?

    :-)

    As is every other number 2 driver on every other team out there when the
    World Driver Championship is a possibility for the number 1 driver.

    That is the way the game is played. That is the way it has ALWAYS been
    played. Right down to the days when a team's number 1 driver would be
    given the number 2 driver's car... ...even during a race.
