Make no mistake, Aussies love Daniel Ricciardo - they've always seen him as he's the mate next door you'd love to have a beer with.
When Ricciardo was winning with Red Bull, the PR train ran hot and he was absolutely everywhere.
So, it will be more difficult for Piastri to cut through as he is a more serious character and not in a winning drive.
But, Aussies also love seeing other Aussies deliver on the world stage, and if Piastri can keep Norris honest this year, his band of believers will slowly grow with his confidence.
