As commented before, expect Verstappen to do the same to Piastri later this season if he gets the chance. You will see, it will happen. And commentators will make the link with Jeddah 2025 Turn 1.
And as I already commented, in my view Verstappen had to let Piastri pass after cutting Turn 1 + already in Summer 2022, I praised Piastri as future WDC material ( https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1943433).
So what's your point ? |
Pia def did well in the juniors, but he was driving a Prema (easily the fastest and best car by material amount) and a rather lackluster field of talent. Lance Stroll also dominated F4 and F3 with Prema cars. Not saying Pia is Str but winning was easy as can be with a Prema and any decent driver would have also won given that car. Pia as I have said is a guy who is good and fast when the car is good and fast but I would guarantee he'd do rather poorly driving the R18/19/20/21 just as anyone else who is not Max has.
