Wow what a move Piastri

This three way battle for first could be pretty fun

I maintain Oscar is the best driver in the McLaren team.

Bonkers how much better Perez is here than Verstappen

It's one of about only four races per season he has a realistic shot of outperforming him - street circuits.

Seems to make less obvious blunders.

McLaren clearly quicker on the hard tyre but not enough to pull out a big enough gap to avoid DRS. I imagine Piastri would be lapping 2-3 tenths quicker than Leclerc without Leclerc having DRS + Tow.

Sooner or later you'd imagine Leclerc will lose DRS from being in dirty air for too long

I'd agree, the Mclaren breezed past leclerc as soon as it got DRS.

Singapore next guys.

Oscar, bravo, racing like he's been in F1 for years.

Norris still hasn't pitted and is seemingly still able to hold off Russell and Verstappen who have both pitted

 

[AndyP94]

Verstappen absolutely no where

 

[longers]

Sainz is slowly coming back into this

edit: has more to do with Perez falling off

8 or 9 laps on softs enough to get past Verstappen at the end?

 

[GoldenToffee]

Surprised nobody has slammed into a wall yet. That would shake things up massively if it fell conveniently for somebody.
