And another message from Ross who says...

Interesting to hear that the relationship between Oscar and Lando didn't really change that much, which shows that the media have a great way of shaping people's views on matters like this, creating drama.

I definitely think there's more than is being said.

There was a moment in the interview where Oscar just said, look, one of us could have not been wearing orange this season.

In other words, one of us could have left the team.

I do think no one said it, but there was a moment where there was a real breakdown in relations.

I think it was in Monza where the team swapped Lando and Oscar on the track because of...

Various reasons, including a slow pit stop for Lando.

And I think that's why Oscar then had a bad weekend the following weekend in Azerbaijan.

Because I think he felt like he had to be in front of Oscar.

If he was behind him, then it was up to the team to make decisions he didn't want them to make.

If he could just qualify in front and stay in front, it was in his hands.

That caused him to push too hard.

But again, I think in the moment it was difficult for him.

But I think in the future, Oscar Piastri is going to be a stronger driver for the fact that he went through that.

But he's up against it now.

You know, Max is driving fast again.

The McLarens are fast.

His teammate outdrove him in Miami a couple of days ago.

So, you know, what Oscar has learned, we're going to find out this season.
