Up until the hard tyre stint, the commentators actually pointed out correctly that Piastri has had the pure pace advantage in both quali and races this year more often than not. Aside from Australia and that second stint, I don’t think I can remember when Lando was faster. (I have no idea about at Japan)

I still think Lando may have slightly more raw pace as a driver. I think Piastri’s racecraft is better and he’s improved a lot from last year with tyre management and understanding of the car.

That’s probably fair. If Lando slots in behind Max at the first bend yesterday he probably wins the race.

Having said that, how many more times does Max get away with his ‘take the inside line, force everyone else off’ strategy?

As much as he can in the past at least. I think the commentators actually did a pretty good job during the race explaining how the rules had changed re: giving space and whose corner it is. Felt like there was confusion about which type that corner was or because it was a chicane.

Nah, drivers need to stop hanging on around the outside when they've lost the corner then whining because they've run themselves out of room.

I do hate the constant whining of every driver on the radios. Would be awesome to have a driver who doesn’t. Think Oscar is probably the closest of the top ones?
