Obviously ricciardo was not the same driver as he was back at red bull, so norris didn't really have a strong team mate those 2 years, though doing better than sainz in comparison to norris in the first season is a good result by piastri.

I think that for him it's a matter of working on some of the obvious issues - he DID make too many mistakes that made a qualifying that could be great a bit of a downer over the last few years. If he manages to find a better approach there and can grab more of those chances, that will make his racing far easier at times.

I do think that Oscar will improve most in races from last year though, since he seemed to get to grips with qualifying well enough, but on race pace he lacked some of the skill with making the tyres work over the distance.

I hope both of them can improve and be consistent challengers for the top of the field, but there could well be differences depending on track where the one or the other does better.

@skipgamer I agree with that. Lando had a great season last year, it'll probably be worse for his development long term if he lets these couple of things get to him rather than focussing on the vast array of positives from the season.

I disagree. Lando has not peaked yet

F1 grid right now has many fast drivers but none consistently fast enough to beat a dominant combination, although that combination might have set itself on fire with the entire TP saga.
