Massive qualifying session for Piastri and a well deserved P2 for him. At this point , I'm sure it's just a matter of time until Piastri will be a world F1 champion.
Max and his RedBull are back to life and honestly, if nothing happens after start of race , Max will have clear way to win it.
Im not 100% sure about that, but not because you are wrong, because in the F1 sadly you relly on some other things that are not in your hands, like having a good car, a good team, and also how much contenders you have that year.
But yes i agree with you , he is showing real skills and surely he is a diamond.
