Lando missing where he has to park is hilarious.

Superb race from Lando Norris. Unfortunate race for Oscar Piastri as he had the speed to get in front of the Ferraris if it wasn't for golden boy Stroll.

Oh - Lando thought he will be 35 seconds BEHIND the Ferrari - his engineer obviously thought otherwise but they didn't shake on it.

I'm going to be a little pessimistic now.
If the car doesn't perform according to the team expectations - does this mean the team doesn't understand the car well and may be wasting resources on developing the areas that are not need to be improved?

Perfect race by Lando, this is exactly where I want to see McLaren for now. One issue for VER (not that I wish him issues) and it's a win. Being there when the opportunity arises is important.

The best demonstration of ‘damage limitation’ I’ve seen in a long time 🤣

After a great race with an unexpectedly good result you are pessimistic. Come on :).

I think that it means that the team is cautious in their predictions. So I am hopeful that when they are optimistic about upgrades, that means those upgrades will be able to push them forward.

Also it means that they can get on top of the setup quicker than Ferrari or some other teams. We were good in sprints last year for the same reason.

Gap to Max was still significant. It's more that Perez and Ferrari underperformed. On a normal race, Lando finishes 40+ seconds behind Max today ...

Good job by Lando, he was clearly better than Perez today which is no small feat! Decent points haul for him, while Piastri seems to be out of sync and out of luck this year. It will turn around for him. :)
And they call it a stall. A STALL!
