George is the first person other than Max to win multiple races this season.

Mercedes have more wins than Mclaren too. It goes to show how many mis-steps Mclaren have made and what a polished operation Mercedes and their drivers are when it comes to converting competitive pace to race victories.

It will now be a huge failure from Mclaren if they don't win the Constructors, and to be honest they and Norris have bungled a genuine opportunity to win the Drivers Championship this year. They have the fastest car while Max is regularly finishing off the podium. Norris should handily out-score Max in the last 10 races. He should be chasing down a gap of 30-40 points instead of a gap of 70+.

Looking at the 3 main young guns. Piastri, Norris, Charles and Russell. Which do you think is more polished and ready for a full season title fight?

All of them are refreshingly far from perfect right now. You could make a case for any of them except probably Piastri who needs a bit longer to get on that top level.

Russell facing DSQ 🫠.

Lewis is the first person other than Max to win two races this season. True greatness always rises to the top :ph34r:.

Super harsh and kind of shitty. I'm not a George fan or anything but he worked really hard for this win and also played a major part in the strategy. It was probably my favorite race of the season so far but this just turned it into a massive bummer. Still, the rules are there for a reason and this one is definitely on the team.

If the trend from the most recent races continues, I would put my money on Piastri. Norris is too self-deprecating, Charles sometimes takes too much risk making errors or just has entire periods where his performance disappears, and Russell is also a bit error-prone when pressured. Although yesterday he was perfect when his team weren't.

Piastri has a mentality more like Max in that he seems very stable and calculating. We'll have to see though what happens when he gets in a position to fight for a title. Charles Leclerc seemed every bit as promising as Max in that regard but kind of crumbled when he got the chance in early 2022.
