This. And on his first lap out of the pits following his stop on new tyres, Charles was faster than Max, so Max wouldn’t have pulled a pitstop gap and would have had to have overtaken at the end (which be presumably would have done but could have been a bit more fun).Xyz22 wrote: ↑30 Oct 2023, 00:10Another masterclass by Leclerc in the first stint ruined by an external factor (red flag). We had no chance of winning due to how bad the hard tyre was for the SF 23 of course.
Then they went for the hard even with the second standing start and 36 laps to go. They did 31 laps with full tank. They didn't have any new mediums but it would have been miles better than the new hards.
Another huge mistake and lost a P2.
Even a used medium would surely have been worth trying after the red flag?
