I thought Piastri was mature enough to take the points and not push his luck.
As for Oscar I think you are probably right. He knows he will retain the lead and not force any issues with the team.

As for Max a tougher call. He is no doubt watching the championship slip away and the what if scenarios are in his head for next year. But with his qualification run being ruined by a red flag and the contact with Kimi he might seem a bit checked out even if his loyalty remains with the Red Bull team.
