The team stated fairly recently that it was “going to happen” at some point. I’m inclined to agree that they sort of let it happen this week, since the win wasn’t anywhere close.
My prediction was for Russell and Verstappen to take each other out T1 then Piastri to cruise to P1 and Norris to drop it in the wall out of desperation, so I feel half right.
Odds on Piastri to win the championship must now be climbing further with this dnf
It will have been at 12 points of piastri… but I agree with you it’s probably better longer term for ego management
