I don't think he'd be doing much better than what Hamilton is doing now. McLaren and Mercedes probably have the best driving pairing in my opinion.

Agreed, which is high praise for Piastri. Outdriving veterans like Checo and Sainz.

Piastri really surprised me. He was hyped up so much, I thought it was just another setup for disappointment.

In recent memory, I can't think of many drivers with a better rookie season so far, apart from all time greats like Max, Lewis. He's consistent and trading blows with an acclaimed experienced driver like Lando.
