I'm not ignoring mistakes during the period between the comments.

The race in Singapore happened on 17 September. The comment 'George is at a key point as to whether he might be considered a genuine topliner in future' was made on 18 September?

I just think it is telling that 'the paddock' is able to make such big swings in their assessment of drivers over such a short period of time.

If Pérez can go from having a questionable temperament, to being a sure-fire cert for a drive in such a short time, then the opinion can swing the other way just as quickly.
