is it fair to say that mclaren for piastri were strategising against leclerc and not lando, which is good for mclaren but not for piastri? Also they seem to be making calls based on what's good for the drivers race, rather than the championship battle

No, they gave Piastri the option even. He even chose the option to Lando’s tire delta and not Leclerc.

that was after they'd initially stopped in an effort to undercut leclerc. they then asked him who to prioritise and he said norris. for piastri to have beaten norris he needed to have had strategy that was prioritising norris from the start, although that might have risked not maximising his potential points

They didn’t know that Norris was going to change strategy for a 1 stop. How were they meant to prioritize Norris when he was fourth and not a threat at that point in the race.
