When asked, he calmly responded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;I didn\u2019t think much about it at the time. I believed I would overtake him easily\u2014just like it\u2019s been so far.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That moment perfectly summed it up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>From believing in McLaren\u2019s pace to being overconfident in it, and ultimately underestimating Max Verstappen\u2014that\u2019s where it all went wrong for Oscar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you can underestimate Red Bull\u2019s car, but never Max Verstappen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri\u2014if they\u2019re serious about the championship\u2014keeping Max out of the race equation is not an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Because once Max starts winning, he makes it his every-race habit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, <a>Red Bull <\/a>arrived in Imola with updates\u2014and they worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red Bull thrives on fast corners, as we saw at the Japanese Grand Prix. That may have played a role too, as McLaren\u2019s package tends to carry a bit more downforce, potentially costing them on straight-line exits and fast sweeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oscar Piastri, the man who rarely puts a foot wrong, proved he\u2019s human.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s the scary part\u2014for the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Because when Oscar makes a mistake, he tends to bounce back with ten times more fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d love to see that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let it be so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oscar Piastri is still championship leader but he can&#8217;t ignore that although McLaren is strong but other teams are not so far, and a tiny miss will take the win away in milli seconds, that&#8217;s what formula 1 is for you, even more this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next Stop: Monaco Grand Prix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9000d\">Stay tuned at HalleysClinic.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9000d\">Share your views in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9000d\">Contact: <a href=\"mailto:halleysclinic@gmail.com\">halleysclinic@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9000d\">Don\u2019t forget to follow our Instagram account <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/halleysclinic?igsh=aTdqMWhmYWZjZDdt\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/halleysclinic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9000d\">also read <a href=\"https:\/\/halleysclinic.com\/index.php\/2025\/05\/18\/why-was-the-emilia-romagna-grand-prix-so-thrilling-exclusive-full-race\/\" title=\"Why Was the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix So Thrilling?
