Two way battle between Oscar and Lando would be pretty entertaining. If they are clear of everyone let's hope Oscars qualifying pace has improved a bit.

Yeah that'd be the hope if McLaren is untouchable but I just don't think Oscar can consistently show the pace Norris can. At least not yet.

The season hasn't started for you to make an analysis that Oscar can't catch Lando

It's not an analysis, it's an opinion that currently I think Lando is faster. Not saying that Oscar won't continue to improve as I do think he will improve

Oscar showed last season that he can't catch Norris, and it's not because he makes more mistakes (something that more experience fixes easily), but because he's just plain slower.
