I largely agree with you. When Nor has a good race weekend, he is easily well ahead of Pia. As I've said before, Pia is lucky they developed a car where tire management isnt required by and large, otherwise Pia would prob be just ahead of Ham and Ant in P6/P7 range. I also think he has been very luck to get away with some questionable moves this year (where Max would get a penalty 100%) and also very lucky he didnt DNF last race, but some DNFs are likely coming his way whether that's him and Nor or him and a general crash or him tangling with Rus or anyone else.
