Why McLaren and Mercedes gave up track position for new inters, I'll never know. This is what gave Max the win.
It was bad luck after a poor roll of the dice. Team should have known that with a lot of cars on old inters in full wet weather conditions, there would be a strong chance of an incident, so ride it out because you won't lose much by staying out and being careful, but you might gain an awful lot.
No, it was another big, big, execution error.
It was 100% clear, that they need to stay out or at least do something different than Russel when the VSC ended. Following Russel into the pits, into traffic was just a stupid descission.
You saw the car driving away, then it was 10sec VSC ending...together easily 15-20sec to send a "stay out".
I was actually astonished seeing Russel go into the pits...but with Norris, I just thought "wtf"...
I agree, it was a poor roll of the dice. It was the way it benefitted Max that was bad luck that was invited from a bad gamble.
In terms of Russell, how many times do people bring out the pit crew to dummy? I'm not so interested in the fact they did come in at the same time, I'm, more interested in the wider view of track position to
everyone that then managed to get ahead.
I'm not too worried about how Lando was using the battery either, he was having to push hard in dirty air to get close, it was obviously hard for him to find grip or confidence to overtake. But so many driver mistakes today from both, but even more from Lando, including the start.
He doesn't care what people say, that's fine, it's a good attitude to be fair. But he's deluding himself if he thinks the race was lost on luck. That's not a bad thing, hope he ultimately convinces himself he can drive like Senna.
