If Norris had the hard edge that Senna, Schumacher and Verstappen had he would be nailed on to win, I think Piastri is harder, not by much but makes fewer mistakes.
First half of the race looked to have the makings of another “Monaco without the yachts”, but thanks to the split strategies and McLaren focussing on Leclerc who turned out to be zero threat it turned into an exciting final few laps. Great drive from Llando, but it was another recovery drive and he can’t keep putting himself in a hole and expect to dig himself out enough times to win a championship. Second half of the season is well poised, albeit it has become a one team race when were led to believe it could have been an all time classic four way fight this season.

After Spain i was convinced Piastri would run away with it a bit, but 3 wins in the last 4 races for Norris and we have a real title race now.
