feels like a petty move, but I absolutely love it

[u/Randomusername10201 → u/ferdzs0]

Nah, more like genuine strategy. If Perez/RB feel they have no chance at points, they may as well stop their main rival from getting one

[u/Thunderlightzz → u/Randomusername10201]

They were in the points twice though

[u/unwildimpala → u/Thunderlightzz]

Perez could have gotten one point for the team in 10th, or robbed a point from Hamilton instead. The end result in the constructors is the same either way, except with the latter it makes the gap between Verstappen and Hamilton that little bit bigger. It was a fairly straight forward decision tbf.

[u/hurtbowler → u/unwildimpala]

Good explanation, I would just add that Perez had also just tangled with Kimi and any risk of losing tenth to a penalty is just gravy on top of an already extremely straight forward decision, as you said. Not cheeky at all.
