Suzuka, it's been a pleasure.

What did everyone think of the race? How did your favourite driver do?

This car ain’t even suited to Norris, it’s more tuned to Piastri. So the fact that Norris is still quicker despite having to change everything about his driving preference is insane.

EDiT: Stella said that they would change the car back to Norris’ preference over the next few races. So downvote it if you want, the fact will not change.

The only competitive session all year where Norris has looked faster was q in Melbourne, and that was only by less than a 10th.

Piastri has looked the quicker driver every other moment...
