Perez must be on his last life surely? Yeah if his performance clauses are true as reported he's done by the end of spa. Lots of rumours that Danny ric is getting it till the end of the season...personally don't think that would be much better either but horner is keeping his allies close since text gate.

If I was Horner I'd be seeing whether I could get Bottas out of his deal early. He's clearly not happy at Sauber and would be stronger than any of their four internal options. Could even work as a mid season swap given Perez has history there.
We know Bottas's flaws but he's a great qualifier and will get that car regularly into the top six in the grid, perhaps even ahead of Max on occasion if the car suits him.

This doesn’t look ideal for Lando

Fuck's sake Lando is a great driver but his starts are poor.

Ah the old I was ahead at the apex (because I didn’t brake and couldn’t make the corner) routine.

Oscar's too far back for Lando just to give the place back surely.

Lando had to give that Monza win to Ricciardo ages back, he should tell them to fuck off.

That’s an unnecessarily wanky pit strategy from McLaren.

I’d be proper fucked off if I was Piastri.

McLaren are pathetic with this. Snide as fuck what they've done to Oscar here.

Lewis pretty down on being on hards but I don’t think the mediums will last 20 odd laps. Could swing back his way a lot in the last 10 laps
lol max

It's so stupid, they could have kept the positions in place just by bringing in Piastri first, bloody idiots.
FIA heavy on the beep button with that Verstappen radio call.

I think McLaren have just done what's best for the team. Plus Oscar's two lap tyre advantage could be telling when defending from Max.
Obviously it's harsh on Oscar but if what we saw in the first two stints was him being faster rather than Lando driving to a delta, he should be able the close up.

Lando is definitely not giving up the lead.

Yeah, but Piastri now has to do a tonne of unnecesaary work to get back to a position where Lando might then be obliged to hand it back. Just really shitty.

If they swap the cars it might turn a 1-2 to 1-3

1-3 fucking hell. They are 0.5 formula ahead of the other teams. They completely set him up and this facade of "catch him up and you can have it back" is about as transparent as going for an eye test around Barnard Castle.

On another note, I don’t think I’ve clocked those cyber-rearview mirrors in the on-board shots before. That’s very cool!

The other thing is they appear to have been telling Lando to slow down to save tyres all race.

Once they're safe from Max I'd swap them but not before.

Can Piastri win the title? No
Can Lando with the title? Yes
Would Verstappen or Hamilton give this up in the same circumstances? No
All it takes is a string of Norris wins and a single Verstappen DNF and the title is fully back on.

Why's Piastri so slow. He's making it harder.
