Piastri has been having a rough couple of months but from the season overall it looks like a car characteristic. We've seen several races where both McLarens seem to perform best towards the end of a stint.

I don't get it though. If the car is so well balanced that he is always faster at the end of stints, shouldn't it be faster at the start of the stint as well? Also not only is Lando faster than others at the end of the stint, he is faster than himself as well when compared to his pace early in the stint.

I don't know. Could be a mix of both, the strategists knowing the car works better the lighter it is so the drivers are told to save tires early in stints to maximise the impact when the car is as light as possible?
