IMO Lando is in tier 1 with Max, Alonso, Hamilton.

Piastri is one of the most overrated drivers I can remember

For real…?

Piastri has done just as good as Lando did in his first year & 4.25 races, he has a brilliant career ahead of him

They guy hasn't even won a race yet, but he's in a tier with drivers that have won multiple WDCs?

True your dead correct, you dunno how he would react to the pressure of trying to win a race, But I feel he has the pure speed of the top 3

Are you basing your comment on the fact that Lando is on pole and Oscar is P8 and 3 seconds off Lando?
Just a fan's point of view

I think Lando is good but he does drive qualifying very close to the edge. Even today he was very close to ending up P8 or so. He made a mistake on his penultimate lap.

I think that is probably because he is pushing a car further than it wants to go, but it does show that he makes mistakes in qualifying more often than most other top drivers. At least with this McLaren car. I bet he would make less mistakes in a Red Bull :).

No, its the fact that every race day Oscar is slower than Norris, and has slow race pace compared to him, and he destroys his tyres trying to match Landos's times.....

Piastri's car auto shifted to neutral during his lap and cost him a 2nd place start.

more likely 3rd, at best. He was about 2s behind already when it happened.

Lando is just so damn good in the wet. There hasn't been any wet or mixed conditions race in recent memory where he hasn't either been crushing the field or at the very least keeping up with leaders on inferior cars.

That last stint on mixed conditions in Monaco last year with the initial-spec MCL60 was just incredible. IIRC he was 0.5s up on Max on average.

Excellent comparison. Happy to see Lando more prudent with the last corner :)
