Glad to see Piastri proving me wrong with his pace on the hard tyre. He can catch Verstappen if he can continue like this.
It's the usual. For 7 races he outscored Lando overall than he has a bad 30 minutes and he's slow.
I think it is dirty air. When he is in clean air he can drive quite well and manage the tires. But being forced to follow Russel and defend against Leclerc just means he can't manage the tires as well.
Incredible pace by Norris. A shame we don't seal it with 1-2.
Yeah he struggles a bit with managing the tyres vs fighting. He keeps at it, vs Lando, who cools the tyres and charges the battery and just uses the natural pace to get close without hurting the tyres, before using everything in the car to get past.
Definately needs to get better in this area, but it's hard to overtake here. Still, not a great performance today from Oscar.
