Agreed. Oscar’s attitude over the past few races has seemed to change. Perhaps it’s his way of managing the pressure - focus on the WDC simply by beating his closest rival, which just happens to be his teammate - maybe it’s rather a sign of him starting to feel the pressure.

I can’t imagine Oscar of the earlier races making the lunges he did in Austria and Hungary which risked taking both drivers out of those races.

I also find comments from Carlos and Zak interesting where they say that all drivers have the same doubts that Lando talks openly about, just that most drivers hide them whilst Lando is willing to be open about them. The only other driver who seems to be so open at the moment is Lewis and he’s also getting flack for it.

Personally, I’m just glad we’re getting a new WDC and think that whoever wins it will be fully deserving.

wasnt happy at all with the attitude from Piastry that with 11 races to finish, he was only interested in finishing above Norris rather than going for the win. There are 1000+ people putting that race car together. They arnt doing that for his personal glory

I agree, I was surprised to hear this and surprised not many have picked up on it. I feel like it was first sign that he (and his side of garage) might be feeling a bit of pressure. No doubt the media would be very different and jump on it if Norris said it. It is fairly obvious that winning means beating your respective teammate, thats all both side of the garage need to focus on and the rest takes care of itself. Was a bit of a poor question to ask O.P really.

Oh really? I'm one of those that didn't pick up on that. I didn't realise he was OK with finishing behind Leclerc as long as he was ahead of Lando. It shouldn't be the case at this stage of the season, with loads of races yet to go. I hate to say this, but someone with that process would not hesitate to take out his rival.
