everyone is talking about how verstappen lost the championship to norris by a mere two points after an underwhelming first half of the season offset by an electric second half. he did, sure. but you know what enough people are not talking about ? the fact that piastri lost a much bigger lead than norris.
at one point, piastri had a 34-point-lead over norris, and a 104-point lead over verstappen. and yet, by the end of the season, not only did piastri lose the championship that everyone was sure would be his, that everyone claimed he deserved, he also finished behind behind both norris and verstappen.
