I seem to remember that Checo was very helpful to the team during
the negotiations which resulted in Force India becoming Racing Point
so they have every reason to be grateful to him.
I agree with you that RP may well come to regret dumping a talented
driver who is still hungry for one who is increasingly looking like a has-been.

Yes, he sued the team for unpaid salary in order to force them into administration so they could be pried more-or-less intact from Vijay's

A move that IMO is only understandable on publicity (for Aston Martin) grounds.
I guess Vettel's value will be in media briefings and new car demos
and unveils rather than on track. IMO AM would have been better off
keeping Perez for racing and employing Button for the media stuff.
After all part of AMs schtick is it's Britishness surely?

I don't think he would have despite the commentators saying for several
laps that he was going to. In fact Brundle had just started to revise 'their' position on the subject when the safety car was called.
Put simply Perez wasn't doing enough and the tyre delta between the cars
was dropping fast. Also Dan was mostly in free air and was tyre saving.
I think Perez had a better chance after the safety car than before and
was surprised that he wasn't up to the task. That Racing Point is
generally faster on the straights than the Renault and I thought Dan was done for after the SC.
Luckily for my pool pick for the podium positions he held on!

I took a quick look at my copy of the OED (which predates SMS and
Twitter) and found, for "masterful":
"3. Characterized by the skill that constitutes a master; masterly."
which however continues
"Now only in somewhat rhetorical use, with mixture of sense 2:
characterized by commanding power."
So I conclude that, while not preferred, using "masterful" rather than "masterly" in the original context is not wrong.
