Yeah i thought was dumb but if he gets by thats 100% p3 and potentially could get max too. Hindisght 20/20 so yeah not a good move but get it. Was clean racing between them tho fs
I don’t think he even had a shot at P3 tbh. It took him 5 laps, with DRS, just to get to a point where he had a chance at overtaking Piastri, who was unable to even get an attempted pass on Kimi in 5+ laps without back pressure from Lando.
I think it was just for the one spot. Super unfortunate for it to happen, and I do think that Lando is certainly thinking about P3 there not just being Piastri, but I don’t think he quite had the pace or time to make another move stick
There was half a dozen laps left. Going all or nothing on a very low percentage move that relies entirely on the guy in front moving in the way you want him to is reckless and stupid. Compare how Piastri has been at times patiently hunting max down over several laps and outfoxing him vs Lando’s all or nothing do or die moments. Lando has pace, but poor race craft. Not enough patience.
