Why not use Piastri to slow Max down?

Because Max would cruise past him.
Possibly he'd then be faster with DRS lol

Max with minor issues? 8th gear not working?

In the meantime Leclerc punted Oscar at the start costing him his good start and then Perez threw him off the circuit.

Leclerc did nothing come on. Oscar just threw it round the outside and Leclerc had no place to go with Perez on the inside. If anything, McLaren got lucky that these are considered 1st lap racing incidents and Leclerc is out of the picture for big points today.

Think you’re being McLaren blinkered on this. Leclerc as someone else already said was the filling to a sandwich and could do nothing

Where should Charles go?? He's sandwiched.

The only driver with space was Oscar. I won't point fingers it's a turn one incident, but no one else had much scope to move and Oscar drove into his wing not realising they were three abreast.

It seems as though oscar is learning how to bring the tyres in more gently. Starting to close to ham abit now.

[Darth-Piekus]

What about Perez sending Piastri off the track?

Eh? He really didn't.

[Darth-Piekus]

Can we have a normal race for one for Mclaren? At least Oscar starts to bounce back.

Yeah if anything that is on oscar for not providing room for the cars on the inside.. but he didn't know about Perez sneaking up the inside. It's 3 cars into a corner that's tight.. racing incident easily

Harsh, I knew this was a risk with gravel. It was right on the line but in my view squeezing onto Gravel is wrong. But the stewards will (unofficially) noted that Oscar didn't suffer much.

[Ben1980]

Oscar can get 3rd

[Slahinki]

Piastri closing fast on Hamilton now.

[mwillems]

Yes he has a strong offset, the hards take time to heat up so he's won a delta.

[Ben1980]

I'm still not going to be disappointed with a likely comfy second.
