I get Pernat's point, but I don't agree. In the pits, everyone needs time to adapt to a new tire. Sure, he's struggling with the Michelins, but from what I've seen up close, the feel through your fingertips comes back — it's a matter of time. It's too early to write him off.

14 points after 12 rounds is rough on paper, but next year's rules reset things.

21st place is genuinely rough. Pernat's criticism isn't unfounded.

But waiting a year, someone else might've taken that seat instead.
