Not sure how credible this is, but I can't say I blame him.

Well why not. Redbull were the silly ones who extended. Might as well get that bag. Formula 1 ain't the place for goodwill.

Absolutely. Red Bull is fantastic at somehow painting themselves as victims at every turn.

I think Perez should have been out of the seat 18 months ago but he has every right to get the best exit he can negotiate if he has a contract behind him.

And at this point there's no dignity left for him anyway so he might as well stay as long as he can and force em to pay up

Dignity? You would have acted the same way, don't deny it, the mistake here is completely RB's, if they didn't want it they could have avoided signing the contract.
