So is Verstappen a terrible driver as well???

If max can have that big of a mistake and still improve, I think this debate over mistake vs yellow is completley settled

Lando went wide but wouldn't lose a lot time.

The problem is that the marshall threw a yellow flag for no reason and Lando had to lift on the straight.

How can teams do this? It's an unacceptable mistake.

Team should change every component in Lando’s car.

For some reason, when Oscar is driving, I never worry that he makes a mistake. I used to have the same feeling when Alonso and Button were in the team.

If Lando clipped the wall on his final run it would be called bottling it...

Showed lando??? Both drivers have made mistakes today and lando got unlucky.

Please stop the hate, you are making this thread very annoying and hateful to read.

Good effort by Oscar, despite the rear wheel hitting the wall. I can see Oscar winning tomorrow, and Lando clawing his way into the points.

My ignore list has started growing, I haven't used it but some people are just too emotional.

Great laps by Piastri, especially his lap on used tire (lightly used as he abandoned it after S1). I am frustrated that Norris ends up P17 because of mistake of a marshall but that is life. Maybe they take an engine penalty to increase the engine pool.

In any case, should be an interesting race. Norris trying to come through the field. Verstappen once again starting in the thick of it with walls close by. Piastri in a position to fight for the win. We have a race tomorrow!

Realistically (and hopefully) Norris can come close to Verstappen and not lose too much ground. It seems unlikely that Verstappen can go forward a lot and P7 should be reachable for Norris. We will see how it shakes out.

If you want to make a Oscar Piastri thread please do so but this is the mcalren thread where we support both our drivers, not just one
