    That lock up cost piastri. Rare mistake from him. He should taken the normal line like he did on the last lap on lap 69 to try a setup a overtake on the last lap. Taking the regular racing line on the last lap, he was closer to Lando throughout the lap

      At the same time, that mistake showed Piastri’s greatness in not crashing into Norris there. Could have easily gone bad for both of them.

      I don’t know, maybe he should have setup for the attempt on lap 70 instead of 69, but being closer around the lap doesn’t mean much around here where turn one is the only real overtaking spot. I understand why he went for it.

        If he entered the main straight around 6 tenths behind, he can gain enough through drs and slipstream to get into a proper divebomb range. On the other hand what actually happened was after the lockup he was slightly further behind and entered the main straight on lap 70 seven tenths behind and too far back to get in place for divebomb.

        Edit - I also get why he did it but it was a mistake nonetheless. Shows that as good as he has been, he is not perfect. We have a cracker of a championship battle on our hands
