I had Piastri as favourite anyway as think he has a bit more about him so think even if he had a DNF he'd still win it now.
Any chance Verstappen attempts a silly lunge and takes himself out and Piastri, and Hadjar wins the race? Please?
Before the summer break I would have agreed 100% , but I think the win in Hungary gave him a huge boost in self confidence . He will hopefully just shrug today off as one of those things , and I expect he will think it could happen to Piastri . Same amount of power units , same mileage . I agree that I think Piastri has the mental edge and will probably be WDC .
Not sure what Landos mechanical issue was . Seems to be an oil leak as opposed to full on engine failure .
"Lewis Hamilton has been given a five-place grid penalty for next weekend's Italian Grand Prix after he failed to slow down for yellow flags on his way to the grid at Zandvoort." When it rains, it pours for Lewis. I'm slightly baffled as to why they couldn't give a penalty for this during the race. And they somehow gave Sainz a 10 second time penalty and 2 penalty points for that collision with Lawson.
