That’s actually a pretty good explanation to be honest.
Glad it worked out. And it does seem the reasoning was sound. Hope this new found pace for Mclaren is something we can expect from race to race.
Really glad it worked out. I understand the reasoning, but what I dont understand is that they could have known way before the VSC and safety car that the softs were an option. Looking at the amount of laps left and the amount Russel did on the softs. Fortunately Lando van drive and the McLaren is fast. The hards did the trick luckily.
I agree. It seems like the hard tire decision was the “safe bet” on the pit wall. With Oscar already out on hards, i think I’d like to see a little more feistiness out of McLaren by putting Lando on softs.
What was weird was how slow the SC call was. As soon as I saw the stopped Haas on fire I thought it was an obvious SC.
I feel like race control are doing this VSC then full SC thing more and more, I wonder if it’s the default procedure now?
One theory is that it’s to secure the track, instead of having yellows for the sector, while waiting for the race leader to come around to the safety car.
That makes total sense, I bet that’s it ✅
I was frustrated during the race, but given the late switch to a safety car, I can understand why they chose the hards.
Great explanation, also I love that we’re getting it - even when it DIDNT cost him. This is good stuff. And it was amazing to see Papaya in full force!
