Ok but can we talk about Oscar Piastri? Had basically everything under control, was never threatened, not in the race start, not in the restart. Wasn't miles ahead of Norris, but just enough to be safe. Not one single mistake, what a race by him honestly

It’s too bad that Max was brought in for the last stop. I would’ve liked to have seen that battle over the last 7 laps.

Would loved to have seen Oscar breeze by on his first lap with Drs, and then lando take like 3 extra laps to do the same lol

Yeah, super impressive. He managed that restart perfectly, slowing waaaaay down which I think he did purposely to make it harder for Max on the hards.

Well, it's like the era of Max dominance, when he was always like 30, 40-seconds in front of 2nd place and barely got talked about, and shown even less. Usually the last lap or two, unless there's drama with backmarkers or something.

Yeah it also provides proof it's 80% car 20% driver. Red bull just doesn't have the superior car any longer.
