Well then thatโs Oscar. Dude is generally level-headed and mostly flawless.
Lando is good, but he suffers from pressure. Whereas Piastri just seems to be immune to it.
Oscar makes mistakes though. But it seems that when he's racing he doesn't care and keeps going.
And while Lando has improved massively in this regard (remember his angry drive after his duel with Max in Austria where he destroyed his chances by driving angrily), he still seems to be more affected after he makes a mistake and needs to believe in the moment that he did nothing wrong for him to be able to keep going. (If it works for him it works I guess)
Also he often chokes at the start of a race. He has lost many races simply because he lost places at the start of the race.
While his starts are more variable I'm not sure that's a mental strength thing. I guess it could be but in Spa you could for example hear him complain about his lack if energy as the reason for why Oscar overtook him. He can't acknowledge in the moment he made several mistakes. Which I don't think is abnormal, but from the outside it looks as though if he can't have that external cause for his problems, he spirals into performing worse than when he does have the external excuse.
