Oscar needs to run this smart, he could reach P3.
Actually for once, I think he needs to chill a bit and try to use the tires smartly. Mediums really dropped off hard at the end for the others. The team should be telling him that. If McLaren really have a tire wear advantage here, he can potentially blitz past the 3 in front in the last 10-15 laps of the race.

Yes, that is what I was thinking.

But I think they will 2 stop Piastri. Not sure I agree with that strategy.

They shouldn't. The sabotage claims about to rile up if it happens :lol:

Max will surely be going till the end. It doesn't look like he will pit again.

That is what you have to do Piastri. If he was this aggressive throughout the race he would have been on the podium.

He couldn't make it with the tyres and everyone around him would pit and undercut.

Yes. That was dominant. Great job Lando!

Such a shame Piastri couldn't have matched it, I wanted to increase the points gap to Max.

Crushing victory by Norris, beats his team mate by just over 40 seconds. What a drive!

Well at the hands of Lando the MCL39 looked like a MCL39 for the first time since Zandvoort. Hopefully they found something to keep it competitive in the remaining races. The performance was fizzling out these last couple of grand prix, it was starting to look like a P2-P3 car.
