Track Map
I just don’t understand McLaren. Remember the drama in Hungary, where Norris had to give up his position to Piastri? But now, papaya rules?
Somehow, Piastri seems bent on not being #2 and it looks like he’s got the team behind him. And Norris is such a nice guy he’ll just fold and play along.
Piastri is ruthless enough to be WDC, but his racecraft is erratic. Norris is a better allround, quick and can keep his cool. But he’s too fucking diplomatic. They need each other to maximize points and not squeeze each other out of the way.
