Chase Elliott Sparks Off Major F1 Debate Online Over Million Dollar Max Verstappen Question: “Hoping Perez Can…”
Driveshaft doesn’t seem to be favoring arguably the best driver on the grid, Max Verstappen. The man who is going for the 37th win this weekend had a troublesome qualifying. The only factor that could have defeated him was a car issue, and it did. As it happens, the man who started in P15 has cruised past the entire field to race in P2 behind his teammate Sergio Perez. And the NASCAR prodigy, Chase Elliott, has jumped in to spark a debate about who takes the win.
The reigning double world champion, if he wins, will be an iconic feat coming from P15 and winning the race. However, his Mexican teammate has done a commendable job this weekend. Perez, who came to the 2023 season campaign, saying he is not the number two of the team, has a golden opportunity to prove his mettle. And the street fighter has given it his all to keep his champion teammate and 2023 championship leader, Max, at bay.
So now that I’m here…
All kinds of stuff on tv this weekend

Well, 33 laps in, I’d say Perez is a little quicker than Verstappen today, so I’d say Checo has this one. Cool to see Alonso fighting for podiums. I have no idea what is going to happen in Atlanta today. Depends on the respect levels between competitors

Interesting was one word for the Xfinity and truck races yesterday haha. And VER has this in hand. Unless Red Bull prohibits them from racing each other…

Max is gonna win this race I feel.
For the Cup race, I think after the Xfinity race, they’ll race first few laps, then just ride in a line for a good while till end of stages
