Yeah, not really anything wrong with what they did. It's a hard call to make for the leaders, there is high risk of safety cars and I was half expecting them to split the strategies but the gap was quite big and they had a "no risk" decision.

Those sort of moves are the sole criticsm I have had for Max. Hope Oscar doesn’t turn it into a norm.
Rob Marshall and his flexi-men can play in gray areas, but Oscar isn't allowed?Emag wrote: ↑03 May 2025, 21:47Probably a bit too late to say this, but I don’t like what Oscar did to Kimi lap 1 at all. It’s not a way of racing I personally enjoy seeing even if it’s technically legal.

If that was Max on Oscar or Lando, people would be critical of him.Emag wrote: ↑03 May 2025, 21:47Probably a bit too late to say this, but I don’t like what Oscar did to Kimi lap 1 at all. It’s not a way of racing I personally enjoy seeing even if it’s technically legal.

He is pretty crafty, the same when Lando applied the pressure and he made a mistake going into chicane, conveniently going straight so he wouldn't lose the position.Emag wrote: ↑03 May 2025, 21:47Probably a bit too late to say this, but I don’t like what Oscar did to Kimi lap 1 at all.

I don't think critical describes in harsh enough terms the reaction if it had been Max that pulled off that move.Ben1980 wrote: ↑03 May 2025, 21:53If that was Max on Oscar or Lando, people would be critical of him.Emag wrote: ↑03 May 2025, 21:47Probably a bit too late to say this, but I don’t like what Oscar did to Kimi lap 1 at all.

If we accept it by Oscar, will need to accept it all round.
I can't see anything Oscar did wrong there. He was ahead and held the same line, while Kimi seemed to be trying to make sure Lando didn't sneak up from behind.Emag wrote: ↑03 May 2025, 21:47Probably a bit too late to say this, but I don’t like what Oscar did to Kimi lap 1 at all.

Piastri is benefitting a lot from the tire savantry that Mclaren have achieved with the MCL-39. In a different car, he would be exposed more.
There’s still many limitations for both drivers. Piastri just managed them better to this point, but if Norris can qualify next to Pia again, he’ll win the GP. He was not able to do this in China, SA, or Bahrain but every new day is another opportunity.
