McLaren said before Baku they were going to prioritize Lando Morris for the rest of the year to help him overcome Verstappen for the Championship. And then dude doesnt even get out of Q1 while his teammate Oscar Piastri finished P2. Put everything together and it is clear Lando is not a Number one - he makes too many mistakes

I dunno... I watched the replays on that one multiple times. I think he kinda got hosed today.
JMHO of course.
Yellow flags are common at street circuits like Baku. So after his poor first Q1 run, he should have gone back out quickly to have a better run and secure his spot in Q2. Leaving it very late made it impossible to have another go. That was the mistake.
Lando had pole positions at Italy, Netherlands, Hungary and Spain. Only at Netherlands was he able to convert that into a victory. Sure sign of a mediocre driver.
Thoroughly engrossing race. As for Oscar Piastri, a star has definitely been born. To pass Charles Leclerc and then hold him off so long for victory was a herculean achievement. 
Solid runs by both Bearman and Colapinto today as well. Dumping Sargent certainly looks like the right call and Williams looks like they are finally getting their shit together but the Perez/Sainz crash absolutely helped them and Russell out.
Entertaining race from start to finish plus the next race in Singapore was RedBulls worse race last season so nothing is settled yet.

Oscar Piastri is not a hot mess, he's the heir to Niki Lauda's legacy. To quote Ray Hudson, he drove a magisterial race.

Yes. They are too good. My F1 weekend is not complete until their video.
