Probably a controversial take but this race is a perfect example of why I think Lando doesn’t have what it takes to win the WDC. Piastri putting in the wall gave Lando the perfect opportunity to make up points and he finished exactly where he started. You do not win a championship if you don’t go for the points that are left on the table. If Lando somehow gets the WDC it’s not because he won it, it would be because Piastri lost it.
I think the better telling factor is that Max almost has the same amount of wins as Lando this season.
