    What a brilliant first lap from Piastri. Aggressive, precise, clean. I hadn’t paid too much attention to him this year, but it’s starting to look like he has the promise of a successful F1 career.

      I still have my doubts. His race craft is good for sure, but his race pace isn’t quite up to snuff yet.

      Hopefully it comes with age and experience, but I just have this nagging feeling he’ll never get to WDC pace material. Think Sainz to Leclerc’s, or Bottas to Lewis.

        Yeah probably not a future WDC. Sainz and Bottas are successful drivers in my book though. And we’ve had a fair amount of underperforming rookies these past years so seeing Piastri fighting near the front and keeping out of trouble is pretty cool.
