Piastri for the first time in his career won the race after a long drama between him, Lando, and Max. He really deserved it. But once again, McLaren finished the race quite chaotically, especially Lando, he was increasingly impatient to win the race and didn't seem to want to give his teammate a chance. Luckily he was still willing to give Piastri space for P1.
And this time we see the many blunders made by Max and how their strategy is quite messy. This indicates that currently RB is increasingly being chased by other teams. That's a good thing and it's the competition I've been waiting for, and it makes F1 even more exciting to watch.

I think Norris should have been the winner. Piastri messes up but still dares to take the lead? I assume McLaren doesn't care about Norris' chance for a championship. We are only in the middle of the season and Red Bull isn't like in the past.
McLaren definitely has the data so they can tell Lando to give Piastri the go, but I admit that the way McLaren manages their drivers is not good at all, there are a lot of mistakes, and it makes both of their current drivers quite disappointed. Especially when he was on the podium, there we could see how Lando didn't give any reaction to Piastri, who had just won his first race. I know that he is quite disappointed, but he has to mature and not blame his teammate who only received orders to lead the race and was also not happy enough with the result he got, even though it was P1. Even someone who often has beef with his teammate, Nico, gave recommendations to the McLaren team in the interview session, and it also makes sense seeing how they treat their drivers.
