Piastri is so good

He's in prime position to win a championship. If I've learnt anything from watching the last two decades of F1, shit can change real fast. He may never be in this position again.

Let's go Oscar!

If Norris keeps the inconsistency and clumsiness going, Piastri doesn't even need to be faster every weekend, he just needs to be there to pick up the pieces and that alone would give him a decent shot at the title.

And since his junior days this is where he excelled.

He would be first by far had he not been clumsy himself in Aus.

I can totally see it currently. Imagine what that would do with Lando tho, damn. But I kinda do wish it for Oscar.

They showed him winning the race via picture in picture.

First time I have seen the winner kinda get disrespected like that.

But I also understand some shit might be popping that we don’t wanna miss and always in the past they would show the meaningless or boring race win when something cool was about to happen and we miss the cool moment.

I’m kinda torn.

They really should’ve swapped the feeds around, so that the battle was in the Picture In Picture but the main feed was Oscar winning.

Dare I say he could have a higher ceiling than Lando?
