Comments like, "this doesn't mean anything for team tactics" or "Lando is still the No.1". For those not following, Lando is a bit of a chosen one in Brit land.Doohan is nowhere near as highly rated as Oscar was. Its any wonder Zac Brown fought tooth and nail to lure him across to McLaren. He will be a WC one day.
Reality is Piastri has looked a class above from the day he started, back when his arrival clearly signalled the demise of Ricciardo, at least to me.
Piastri is cooler behind the wheel, doesn't break the machine, is technically excellent, smooth as silk, gets the job done with minimal fuss or bluster, does the right thing, behaves predictably, seems relentless, and appears to be marketable. These are not small scalps Piastri is claiming, he is making some old heads look like rookies. It comes with a bit of push back.
I can't wait to see what Jack Doohan is capable of, he is a racer type like his old man.
