If toto wanted Lewis to win they should have put softs on him. Didn’t they learn from Dubai? Didn’t they learn from what happened at silverstone with Charles?
Even if Lewis lost track position, or even kept it to Max. Would Lewis of had the car to challenge Max for the win?
The mediums plan was logical with a buffer. But it still would not bave worked in the end.
Two on softs still would not have worked because of the pace of the car. Before allof this Max walked the field let's not forget.
When you had the second safety car that plan goes out the window. The 1 stop strategy goes clean out the window.
There was 2 scenarios.
Pit Lewis under the SC for a set of soft tyres, hope RB don’t pit in order to keep track position. Even if Lewis ended up 2nd place, being on the same tyre as near enough the rest of the grid puts you on the same playing field.
2 on softs would have absolutely worked. Stick some team orders in to protect Lewis for the 2nd place.
Sometimes keeping track position isn’t the way to go when the rest of the field is on a faster and softer tyre.
It’s absolute basics.
