Norris has cut the gap to Piastri a bit to 6.619s, but that's still not on pace to catch up by the end, and that's assuming Piastri isn't saving his tires for a potential late race safety car.

We've got a vicious battle for the lead between Verstappen and Piastri. The McLaren is clearly faster but Max is making that Red Bull as wide as he can.
