Oscar piastry With its third win of Formula 1 season, Drivers opened up 10 points at the top of the championship, but perhaps McLarenThe benefit of is misleading.
At this point, can it be that the red bull is not as far away from the speed as it is presented?
A lot is made up of McLaren’s impressive revival, and the woking team is formed in its excellent 2024 season, where it ends as the constructive champion.
Between them, piastry and Lando Noris Four of the first five races for McLaren have won the team to see the commanding lead in the championship.
However, while McLaren is the base in the glory and adorable, the Red Bull is entangled in a crisis, while uncomfortable question marks on the uncomfortable question mark Max VerustapaneThe future has been revived.
Meanwhile, in Jeddah, it was Dutchman who used to drive Piastry closest. He also won in Japan, gave birth to the principle that perhaps the red bull is not far away from already.
Piastry spoke of his relief in crossing the line for the first time in Jeddah, benefiting from the punishment of Vastapane’s five-second time, which left the red bull driver cutting his tongue.
The Australian was asked about the spirit of satisfaction in winning and said: “The fact that I crossed the first line, to be honest. It was not the easiest of victory. The beginning was difficult, the first stent was difficult behind Max. And then once I had some clean air, it was a little easier to manage.
“But I could not even take the risk of unloading my leg from the gas. It was a difficult race, and Max was hurry behind me, so I had to push me. I could control it quite well, but it was a little tight as I would like.”

Just before, Noris revealed that McLaren did No People believe that people believe.
Britain, finished fourth in Saudi Arabia, said: “Red bull is equally early in qualifying. They are as fast as us in the race. Just because we are early in practice, people just keep coming with this nonsense.
“We don’t believe that we are far ahead because it shows. I think maybe Max was the fastest today, so we have to work.
“People keep saying that we are the best, we are the fastest, blossom, but it is just because we show a little more speed in practice.”
And while Piastry admitted that McLaren still has a fast car, he believes that his team has cut his work after being caught at the speed of Verustapain.
He said: “I was definitely faster than expected in the Max race. I thought this was not a huge surprise to see Max Quick in a lap, but in the race, I was not expecting so much struggle at the end of the medium term, it is sure.
“So clearly we’ve got to do some work. I think our car is still very good, but when you see the layout here compared to Suzuka, it is the most similar ever, and these are two where Max and Red Bulls are close.
“I think we still have an advantage. I don’t think it is equally big on such surfaces and such layouts, but we still have a very strong car at this time.”
