I'm wondering if Piastri would have had a better chance if he delayed the restart until the start/finish straight.
He lost almost 7 seconds over such a short period of time. I don't think he could stay ahead in this race.
probably not: Spa is always great for the overtaker due to the long straight into and after eau rouge. McLaren is also running very strong wings which hurts their performance on the straights (but helps during e.g. rainy qualifyings....).
Realistically, if there is any chance of overtaking at all, Verstappen can overtake just due to less drag on the straights.
