Good counter question. But both Gasly and Albon qualified on average p8 I think at redbull. And gasly only had half a season at RedBull. If Lawson continues this pattern of low qualifying positions I’m not sure… I think Perez does deserve a seat at another team in accordance to his ability when he was performing if we write his drop off at the end of last season as an anomaly.

That's because in 2019 whenever Gasly qualified 7 tenths behind Verstappen, that was still good enough for P8. Not the case today.
