In some ways he reminds me of Prost when he was at McLaren alongside Lauda. On paper Prost should have been the clear favorite to be champion (an obvious talent in his ascendancy, smooth and steady, a very good car developer and great in the rain) but Lauda's personality overshadowed or maybe even awed him and by the end of the year Niki won his third by 1/2 a point. Maybe Perez is no Prost, talent wise, but he should be getting consistent podiums and instead he's hit and miss, and this is an unfortunate hallmark of the RedBull system.

Couldn't agree more. He'll probably finish 2nd in the championship this year and still be treated poorly.
