Lando is still learning how to best use the tyres after 5 years, so while Oscar should improve, I don’t expect him to be on Lando’s level as Lando will also improve.

When the McLaren was the 2nd fastest car, Oscar was right up there with Lando, but when the car was 3rd, 4th, 5th fastest, Oscar wasn’t as close, so still a long way to go!

The points are scored in the races and that was the biggest differentiator between the two drivers!

Oscar will up his game, and so as Lando. But by how much and when makes the picture different and Lando needs to control the appearances. I think, it will be easier for Oscar to up his worst race to a better one while Lando needs to win races to show his growth in public.
But driving a car, that is capable of second all the races, at all races, is easier done than winning races in the same car. Certainly the car will limit the top level capability while driver will improve his skill to where the engineers expects.

This is last year's car's thread. Not time to wake it up at all.
