Lando had 2 races he did not finish. He crashed in Montreal (his fault) His PU died in another race- (not his fault) If he would have just finished those races in the top 5- it wouldnt even be as close as it is. People love to hate on Lando but he is the better driver over Oscar.
All the talk of preference…even sabotage…has probably got into his head. Or maybe he’s the one with the superior car at the beginning of the season. Plus, people don’t seem to recognize that Norris’s form has improved. It isn’t all down to the cars.
WDC jitters Yes the team is babying Lando, but that shouldn't shake Piastri; yet it does. He is fragile and flying off the track twice without anybody touching him is truly poor form.
Seasoned championship contenders recognize you have to put together a whole season. Not just a portions of it.
