Herbert: Cracks are beginning to spread through Piastri's armor.

      At the start of the Singapore Grand Prix there was contact between the cars of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as a result of which the British McLaren driver moved ahead of his team‑mate. On the radio Oscar called the manoeuvre "unfair" when he realised the team would not ask Lando to give the position back.

      Former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert believes that such a reaction from Piastri indicates the Australian is beginning to buckle under the pressure in the title fight.

      Johnny Herbert: "In all of Oscar's comments we can see tiny cracks starting to appear in his armour. The cool‑headed Oscar Piastri that everyone was talking about at the start of the season is gone.

      The pressure is building, and in the fight for the title the advantage will go to whoever is more psychologically resilient. Piastri must try to deal with the negative fallout from Singapore and keep a positive mindset ahead of the next race.

      Singapore's result can't be called ideal for Lando, but he still finished ahead of Oscar and cut the gap to 22 points. Norris is not only doing his job excellently, he is also increasing the pressure on his team‑mate. Lando again showed he has the pace, but in any case both McLaren drivers are very close.

      Now more than ever they both have to show their inner steel and psychological resilience. McLaren have already won the Constructors' Championship for the second season running, so now the team should let its drivers race each other."
