Yup, squandered chance is the name of the game
I really don’t see how Piastri with the ultimate “#2” driver in Webber as his manager is ever going to roll over and help set a status quo where Lando is set to be #1. It’s something that McLaren through Senna and Prost back in the day knows well and the winner in the end is the driver that takes it all. As an Australian I’m very happy for Piastri to have the balls to assert this, he’s maybe not going to win this WDC but it’s all positive for the future!
Totally agree. It’s a bad idea for the team (could lose his talent) and for Oscar to play this game. If it was 10 points between max and Lando? Sure, play wingman. For this? Nah
