That was a really enjoyable race I thought. Mclaren and Williams the big winners there

Some form Oscar is in. Great race today and that move was class. Big fan of the kid 

[Super_horns]

Cracking drives by the McLarens and the rookies Colapinto and Bearman.

 

Unfortunate for Perez and  Sainz at end .

Jeez Piastri is sensational.

His Comms make it for me, likes he's just done it on the playstation. No emotion, just doing it for a bit of fun 🤣.

Red Bull are back baby.  If you can't beat 'em, cry about it.

Guess with the front wing complaint also being binned they're running out of parts to query.

I think that calmness is his main strength to be honest. He's so cool and composed in everything he does and never bashes himself, unlike for instance Leclerc and Norris who several times have branded themselves as "stupid." In fact, his comment on Stroll "driving his first go kart race" is probably the most animated I've ever seen Piastri.

I was listening to his radio from Sunday and he didn't even say anything when he passed Leclerc. He goes for a move and makes it stick. It's never unfair, it's just completely measured and calm. Off the top of my head, his passes of Leclerc at Spa, Norris at Monza and Leclerc again on Sunday were arguably three of the top overtakes of the season.

I'm excited to see how he'll fare when the pressure is well and truly on, but if were to bet on the 2025 champion, Piastri would be my current pick. Extremely likable guy, too.

Let's hope he stays this way. We know all to well how the likeable guy becomes a knob when things don't go their way after a few good performances. I agree though, he's very very good.

Agreed. I went into 2023 wanting to hate him because he's an Aussie and I thought his treatment of Alpine was very arrogant. But he's too talented and too likeable.

Would be good if he starts winning and goes a bit mental though, the sport is all about characters.

Pure Kimi vibes so far.
