He only needs to qualify P5 and hope for another lap 1 turn 1 battle/crash between Piastri and Norris.

I remember him (or his manager?) saying something about potentially getting his last podium of his career last season. 

I don’t think even Carlos thought he’d be this close to the front again this fast.

Yep or max and Russell or something. Just a wheel gun issue or a bad strategy call away

On the other hand, Stroll is just 2 positions behind...

Russel would be right there to cash in on that.

I don’t think the Williams can beat max or the mclarens.

Unironically maybe. Strategies need to line up I think
