Aren't you a little guilty of this though a bit of confirmation bias towards Lando? Was a few weeks ago you defended Lando when Max overtook him - its not Lando its that car that is poor off the line/starting. But going back over quite a few recent races Oscar has been pretty decent off the line better than Lando, making up places within the first lap.Dunlay wrote: ↑03 Sep 2024, 13:33Other than a fan perspective, I don't see any sense here. No data, no debate. There should be data backed for argument, otherwise it's just stale argument.rayden wrote: ↑03 Sep 2024, 12:00Nonsense, Piastri has been the faster driver at Hungary, Spa & Monza. One could argue Lando was quicker in 1 stint @ Hungary but even then that was 3 seconds over 21 laps.Dunlay wrote: ↑03 Sep 2024, 03:20If you simply want to get lost in statistics, that then that's your reality. If you want to look beneath and see what were the reasons for Piastri finishing ahead of Norris then you will understand it's because of Norris making 1st lap mistakes that is putting him behind not just Piastri, but also other drivers. It's like Nico vs Lewis in 2016. That doesn't mean Piastri is on some kind of ascension. Despite his mistake in Zandvoort, when Lando was just behind Max, he made the most out of it while Piastri was stuck behind Leclerc. So it's about Lando making a mistake AND Piastri jumping him AND Lando getting stuck behind other cars that can make Piastri look good in the battle. Is that going to happen every race? Let's see.
This isn't even getting in to the racing lessons Piastri has been handing out to him lately.
Oscar will be this seasons Minister of defence for Max.
Was a race before the summer break that Lando, relied on pit stratagies, I recall was struggling to overtake anyone while Oscar seemed to be going it with ease.
Netherlands Oscar was way off Landos pace.
I'm not getting into who is better as I think they both have their pros and cons over all. Lando I think is far better over a lap/quali. Over a race I think both sides can be very very selective on what they want to read. Oscar points to recent races etc. You've pointed out some of Landos's strengths too.
