   I agree with Piastri for RotY but wouldn't say he was the 'most rookie' as he   
   had far more   
   seat-time than the other two (albeit in a year-old car). F1 practice sessions   
   are an hour at most.   
   Piastri had most of the day, several times, to get to grips with a recent F1   
   car.
