The Impact of Tyre Performance and McLaren's Competitive Drivers

This chapter explores the influence of tyre performance on the race and how it allowed drivers to attack without worrying about degradation. It also discusses McLaren's position and the value of having two competitive drivers, raising the question of whether Norris and Piastri will seek seats elsewhere. The chapter concludes with a discussion on Oscar Piastri's victory and whether it was due to his talent and McLaren's upgrades or Max Verstappen's strategy of preserving his tires.
