Is there any reason why we did not change tyres immediately?

Do Mclaren have an ****ing aversion to using the intermediate tyres in the race???
This is ridiculous- when will they learn???
Just a fan's point of view

Why didn't they pull split the strategy and pull either Norris or Piastri into the pits

If they stayed out it might have worked, but pitting now is stupid.

I dont get it. Who the hell decided that it was a good idea to keep Norris for two laps outside? It was obvious it would rain hard.

The strategists wanted him to stay out and in the end Norris overruled I think.

Exactly...if you want to be cool...pit one of the drivers and keep the other one on track. But they fuccked both. Now 12 and 16...from 2 and 8. Bravo McLaren....so so so stupid....can't believe how big they screwed this race....

Norris needs to be careful with this overruling. Did it yesterday too and it nearly cost him.
Terrible not to split strategies after lap 1. Bizarre

They could do a double pit stop. Everyone does it and Norris had distance from Piastri. They could do both.

We know that they have clowns at Ferrari but those Mclaren guys are outclowning them from time to time. They have to get their act together and must not repeat that again.
