Oscar Piastri is watching McLaren Teammate Lando Norris to claim his fifth victory of the F1 season in the Spanish Grand Prix -such as Max Verstappen and George Russell Reignite Fiery Feud

Lando Norris Seven points sent in his world championship fight as an inexplicable Oscar Piastri won the Spanish Grand Prix from pole – AS Max Verstappen lost his control with an extraordinary failure George Russell Leave in the race.

As far as Norris is concerned, it was a case of Back to Earth with a bump a week after his moral -enhanced triumph on Monaco’s winding streets. A mistakes-covered qualifying session condemned the Brit to start from the second place on the schedule, and his best obvious opportunity to take the lead, presented himself at the long resistance in the first corner.

But Norris was slowly gone, at least compared to Piastri’s smart outing. He even slid a place to Verstappen, the Red Bull -man strongly pressed his claims as usual.

Norris was able to pass Verstappen in round 13, the superior pace of his McLaren too much for the Red Bull. A breeze in the second, where he ended.

Piastri therefore leads Norris with 10 points after nine rounds.

So the damage to Norris was included, but the outcome was the opposite of the ideal he needed to maintain the momentum that was determined seven days earlier.

Norris never won two races during a season, a curious deviation in such a fast car.

His language that came during the weekend betrayed a lack of conviction. For example, he said that he did not necessarily need a pole, but only a strong qualifying performance.

There is no such thing in a McLaren of such an unparalleled pace – it is pool or failure, a display underlined by the result of the race.

Imagine that Lewis Hamilton makes such a gentle remark at the height of his sparkle. He would rather have stuck his eyes out than to Fernando Alonso in 2007 to Fernando Alonso at McLaren (or someone else at Mercedes).

Norris ‘Soul searching led Nico Rosberg, the 2016 champion to whom Hamilton lost in a psychological thriller, to say:’ I don’t know if Lando has a mental coach. Does he work with a psychologist or not? He should certainly because it contains so much value.

‘I worked with one, just to help us understand the best possible approach. I did two hours every two days prior to the season. It was more difficult than physical training. It was incredibly difficult and extremely valuable. ‘

As far as Hamilton is concerned, he suffered the indignation to be told to be told Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc by just 10 laps in the 66.

This instruction has come his way at the two occasions that he has qualified Leclerc, here and in China. He finished sixth, passed by Stake’s Nico Hulkenberg, to Leclerc’s much more competitive third, with Mercedes’s MR reliable Russell fourth.

Norris admitted: ‘I just didn’t have the pace to match him [Piastri]. It was a good, fun race. ‘

After the race, Piastri Sky Sports told that it has already been a ‘great year for McLaren’

A Safety Car came from the end of 11 laps after the Mercedes engine of Kimi Antonelli had given him up and he slid over the gravel at turn 10.

The leaders went into the pits to be resisted. During the restart, Verstappen was thrown away on the sidewalk while he was in third place, was passed on by Leclerc and Russell.

The Dutchman ran from the circuit and was told that he had to hand over his place back to Russell.

He shouted challenges before he finally seemed to go aside, but then changed to Russell. He received a 10 -second penalty that deposited him back to end 10th.
