But what does the other Papaya driver have to say? Is he as honestly brutal as he is?

Lando Norris’ teammate, Oscar Piastri, sounds more hopeful

Piastri, who is going to Monaco for the first time as an F1 driver, has a more polished take on the whole situation. He believes that the MCL60 is significantly better in cooler temperatures and is hopeful as he intends to catch on to the rhythm to do his best.

Oscar said, “A bit off the pace, but I think it’s just about putting it together. Especially around here with all the low-speed corners. You have a little bit here and there and it can add up very quickly. So we’ll work on it overnight, see what I can do better. I think you’ve got to get yourself into a rhythm, which I don’t think I’ve really got myself into yet. From FP1, I improved on the areas I needed to. Now it’s just catching up a bit in the rest of the places. So, I’m confident we can make a good step tomorrow.”
