Think he didn’t really mess up, Piastri just did something special
A “championship caliber driver” shouldn’t be bested by a youngster in his second season. I think there is growing evidence that Piastri is the better driver overall and with growing experience he’ll leave Norris behind.
I think what we’re seeing is a nervous first lap Lando. McLaren has two very promising young drivers, but that means a lack of driver experience. That’s why Leclerc won today, he’s been around a bit longer. Once Lando and Oscar start regularly winning races, I think you’ll see them improve a lot. I just hope for them that their car will still be competitive when they get there.
I think Lando has crazy good pace, but yeah, agree. You watch a young lewis go against Alonso, or a second season Max, and there are mistakes but there are a lot more gains than losses with that fast of a car
