Not sure if he braked the moment he saw that the safety car was ending or what?

In any case quite stupid thing to do, can't brake that hard.

We are lucky Verstappen binned it due to pressure.

This is a bit of a problem if they need to double stack.

You know what will be the maximum blowmind? Oscar to put a gap of +11..+12...and the race control to bring in S C for a bird sitting on a fence. Uoooffff....

I do think that these breaking when leading the pack is a problem. It needs to be penalized. It's just unfortunate that it is for Piastri, but at least it's not giving a race win to Verstappen.

McLaren chose well with the setup, and Oscar and Lando (well except for the penalty) have both driven fantastically. Max with the big mistake.

McLaren is conservative so ofcourse they take a race setup. Max and Red Bull are just trying everything they can so they do these wild strategies with quali setups.

Another SC would be useful for Piastri.

Is it in Oscars best interest to have an on track fight with lando?

Safety car would screw over Lando. He would be unable to pit.
