Bro! If he is in that car come next year then there is some serious kompromat on Horner and Marko!

Or he brings a ton of cash to the table.

I just cannot see how it is worth it, given the team is a marketing exercise for a fizzy drink. I don't see how any amount of sponsorship cash can offset the damage done by being a bad team

i think it's about the market in south america. saw multiple comments on reddit explaining it like this: RB doesn't care a lot about the WCC, they would obv like it, but the WDC is their main target. also makes sense, as this is the thing that is publicly most known and advertised with. RB still won the WDC and has a big market to successfully advertise in with perez in south america. they actually got what they wanted. and i kinda believe it to be the reason. i mean, they are not dumb, they know, perspective and WCC-wise, that Perez is not the option.

You are correct. But the question the shareholders will have to answer is whether he can be replaced by a better driver. The only driver doing well next to Verstappen was Ricciardo.
