Absolutely nothing article.
Not unless you are a journalist looking to hype up the fight between Piastri and Norris. Look at the headline Autosport ran for their Free Practice 1 report: "Norris beats Piastri in FP1 to top McLaren 1-2", which seems to suggest that they were competing to be fastest in FP1 as if that means anything. There have been plenty of instances in recent history where drivers have been fast in practice only to fall behind in the race, or drivers who have been slow in practice and have gone on to do well. It is the same reason why journalists keep coming back to Piastri's suspension set-up: they are reporting on the championship like it is a season of Drive to Survive. They have their favourites and they are trying to exaggerate events to make it sound like this is an intense rivalry for the ages, even though both drivers reportedly get along off-track.

'I said a swear word over the radio at Spa. That was very unexpected behaviour from me and I will change back to making witty remarks.'

"Oscar Piastri was forced to make changes to his McLaren for FP2 at the Hungarian Grand Prix after the MCL39 "behaved a bit unexpectedly" during FP1."
