Honestly, --- Piastri, man. What a cunt defensive move.
Are you nuts?

Totally daft move by Lando.

Another example of trying to take more than is available.

Yep!

That’s a lesson to McLaren for not choosing a No1 driver! And you very well know who that driver is…

Same mistakes as in 2007, 2010 and 2012…

Unbelievably stupid move from Norris. I have no words. Stella, do something, please.

Oscar was closing the space but Lando made the mistake. Such a shame. I hope Oscar would get Antonelli, he was very close on one run but he stayed tucked in behind probably because he didn't want Norris to have a chance if he doesn't manage to overtake Antonelli.

This was always going to happen, especially if the team is unwilling to push team orders.

The gap had gone before Lando even tried to get in it and nearly took both out.

Oscar jinked him into the damn wall, lmao.
No, I am afraid you are wrong. Lando went for a gap that didn't exist. Lando's showing that he hasn't the skillset to be a champion yet. I'm impressed with Oscar's racecraft this season.

Was that George trying to get Max a penalty point for over taking under SC

But regardless of the mistake, Lando was the better driver today. If he qualified in P3 he would have probably won this race.

Piastri makes less mistakes but still struggles in certain tire durability situatiions.

Oscar defending the inner side, there was never a place to go into.

Still were only a few seconds behind after a long race. We didn't have the pace to win but it was not terrible.

We're lucky it was a Lando mistake. If he was pushed to the wall it would be a penalty for Oscar and he'd get no points.

We had the pace to win if we qualified ahead. The margins are that small.

Let’s not forget they were on two different strategies though. Lando’s was in hindsight much better.
