The 2020 Season

Personally I think Perez is an especially good option as a second driver because, beyond just his consistency, his ability to conserve tires should open up several different strategy options for Red Bull to pressure Mercedes with.

[Penfold]

Absolutely, expecting Red Bull to make good use of his talent on that front next year, providing their race pace is within a couple of tenths of Mercedes.  Hopefully force them to make some tricky mid-race strategy calls.

Ah, the disappointment if it turns out Perez also consistently qualifies four tenths off Verstappen and struggles to reach 4th in races...

Ricciardo was similar to Max.
Ricciardo was a little better than Ocon.
Perez was a little better than Ocon.

If Red Bull's car really is that weird, then all they're doing is ending their chances of being competitive, even if Max has figured it out.
