Piastri is pretty good. He rarely makes mistakes. Better than Norris, IMO. This is only his third season and he might win the championship. People forget that Verstappen used to make a lot of mistakes when he was younger.
As long as Verstappen is there the second car will never be allowed to beat him. Verstappen will get all of the best cars and preferential treatment regarding stuff like team orders and race strategy.
Will Power intentionally drove into the back of Kyle Kirkwood's car and pushed him for like 5 seconds, almost causing a wreck. This was during practice.
