If McLaren hadn't screwed up on strategy...
I struggle to understand how they did that. If you're in the lead and
your main threat does something different, surely the reaction should
be to cover it.
Stella:
"We didn't expect everyone else to pit. Obviously if everyone else
behind you pits, then it makes pitting definitely the right thing to do."
Having left Piastri out they presumably could have decided to have
Norris follow Verstappen into the pits.-a Perhaps there wasn't time to reconsider?
They should have had this all pre-determined before the race.
Note also that had there been a second safety car at any time except lap
32 they would have looked brilliant.
Correct.
