Oscar too cautious. He has the pace, he can dive bomb on people and they will let him through.

If he wasn't fighting for a WDC that is an attack every time.

EDIT: he seems to be sliding a lot.

Piastri is completely unable to get a good exit out of T3. Loses time there every lap.

Oscar is not fast with the mediums. Unfortunately that's a race to forget.

Boxed way too early buit they were obsessed with covering Lewis rather than looking at the whole picture #-o

He can go till the end. That's not gonna be a problem. But it's a race to forget for Piastri. Good job and fantastic pace from Norris though. Crazy pace.

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:
