    Piastri and Lando are choking. Can’t explain Piastri crashing to McLaren’s stagnant development

      Also true, but in general the car has now been pretty much caught in terms of performance, barring some track specific advantages favouring one or another team. So both Piastri and Norris will need to dig deep to maintain their grip on the standings.

        Yeah. I think people have forgotten just how much better (compared to the rest of the field) McLaren was at the start of the season. I think it was at Jeddah where Piastri zoomed past Hamilton on the dirty side of the track. Now he couldn’t even get close to Hamilton. That’s not just Hamilton getting more comfortable in the Ferrari, that’s also Ferrari being as good as the McLaren.
