So could it just simply be Piastri was driving better than Lando and now he's not?

Earlier in the season, there seemed to be a narrative that Piastri was a calmer driver than Norris, and Norris didn't handle the pressure well.  The last few weeks it does seem to have reversed a bit...

Ever since the team made Oscar hand back the spot because of a poor pitstop to Norris at Monza.

5 races since then.
Norris has beat Oscar in all 5 races
Norris has beat Oscar in all 2 sprint races
Norris has beat Oscar in all 2 sprint race qualifying
Norris has beat Oscar in 4 out of 5 race qualifying.

Since McLaren clinched the manufacturers title at Singapore, Oscar has failed to be in front of Norris in any practice session, sprint qualifying session, sprint race, normal qualifying session or normal race.
That is 0-14. (Would be 15 except Norris didn't drive 1 practice session for reserve driver)


So COULD the team be holding Oscar back? Absolutely.
WOULD the team be holding Oscar back? Potentially, its happened before with Webber vs Vettel at Red Bull.
Are the team holding Oscar back? Who knows. But to say its not possible or it would never happen goes against history. History repeats.

100%

That doesn't support the 'conspiracy' narrative though.

Yep.....when you dare raise or question things on touchy topics like Politics, health, covid or 'science' you are quickly branded a nutter or Tin head or Anti Vaxxier - yet those who brand you are then happy to sell their 'conspiracy theories' on everything from AFL to F1 in as though its a proven fact.

Funny that.

You got anyone in mind when you wrote that?

Why is Lando quicker than Piastri in qualifying?
Lando is quicker now but wasnt earlier in the season. Lando was also making all the mistakes early on, now its Piastri making all the errors and Lando is super clean. Why is Piastri making mistakes now, has the pressure got to him?
The question begs though, is Lando being given superior equipment and strategy? I think he is.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership
