This hits on something which I think is a common theme of the drivers that ended up outside my top 10. A few of them never seems to drive with their head. Stroll is good at weaving dangerously, Gasly drove full throttle under red flag and Occon at times seems more interested in putting his team mate into the wall than scoring points.
This is probably where I think Max Verstappen has grown most lately. He still has his moments.
Actually thinking while driving is something Mercedes drivers have been excelling at. Multiple constructor's championships are a good witness to that. This is one reason I hold Sainz so highly as well.
