    He had no pace to beat nor Ricciardo nor Piastri. In Hungary, he was only ahead thanks to the mistake the team made. If we count how many victories Lando could have, why not count his own mistakes? Like Sochi 2021, or Silverstone this year. His only win came thanks to luck in Miami, where the SC picked up the wrong car. He should work on his decision making instead of asking the pit-wall for gifts.

      Since 2021 Norris has outperformed his teammate. How come Norris doesn’t have the pace to beat Piastri if he’s currently 40 points ahead? In '21 he was 45 points ahead of Riccardo, and in '22 it was all of 85 points!

      It might be luck, but who cares what it is, as long as he’s collecting points for the team!

        Miami was a safety car win, and was a 25 point swing because Sainz blasted Piastri’s wing.
