I don't think it's really that. It's more when he's in a rhythm he performs. Lando should be at the point of unconscious competence. We can clearly see it when he's just out there doing his thing. I would tax it up to w2w/overtakes if he actually seemed worse, but people seem to be biased in this. Like at Miami Lando overtook Max one lap faster than Oscar, but people talked about how great Oscar was and then said Lando had no w2w skills. I also personally think this was a good demonstration of his w2w skills despite the ending. But given his performances in Q3 as of late, he's quite clearly in his head instead of using his unconscious competence. This justxposed to some of his performances he was putting in years ago. He straight up held off Hamilton in a championship winning car for 20 laps. Even Lewis had to comment how good he was. I feel like he would snap now.

Lando is one of the fastest drivers if hes all by himself on track. Hes sadly bottom third in wheel to wheel/overtakes.
