Being the best driver at McLaren.

Seen zero evidence that Piastri is better. Every race he has inferior tyre management and lacks raw pace of Lando

I think he's ace, me. Much more likeable than Norris as well, so easy to root for.

He's good, very good... but he lacks xfactor, I see him more as Button level talent.

Nice calm and steady

Bah Monza always sucks, tyre management galore

Piastri is utterly brilliant. What an incredible overtake at the chicane.

What is Piastri doing

Yeah great overtake sure, not sure it’s the best idea to do it where it puts Lando behind Leclerc too.

Hards worked well for Red Bull

It’s still early to see if the strategy is best, but they look to be benefiting up to now. Whether the tyres survive, let’s see.

Should hopefully be a tight end to the race, lots in contention here. Any of the top six could easily win.

I guess Norris will manage to overtake Piastri via DRS within the next 10 or so laps.

That having been said Charles may get DRS on Norris soon enough and that will slow him down.

Edit 5 minutes later: great pace this by Piastri, he might even be able to survive an undercut attempt if he keeps this up.

Monza is a very dull track for F1

 

[GoldenToffee]

Very sneaky Ferrari but it'll come down to the last few laps, surely at least Piastri will blast past them, maybe even Norris too.

 

[longers]

Charles got this quite comfortably surely

I don’t feel like there’s enough laps

 

[GoldenToffee]

Charles has bloody done this

This seems like another tit up from Mclaren
