I mean, that is one way to spin it. But it seems like Norris is way too much in his own head.
Instead of having a positive “all to play for” mindset he was very hard on himself after quali and basically already gave up.
Piastri is on the other side of the spectrum and doesn’t seem to have any emotions and is pretty ruthless, which feels more like a mindset of a world champion. Especially with all cars being so close this season.
