    Total Verstappen meltdown.

    All McLaren needed to do was pit Oscar first. But they didn’t, so they tried to make it right.

    EDIT You have to feel bad for Oscar. This is how he gets his first win.

      But they didn’t, so it caused loads of unneeded drama.

      Last race the strategy by them was also interesting in a bad way.

      If Piastri went first then there was a chance Hamilton would have undercut Norris

      It was the right strategy call to pit Norris first to cover Hamilton… and it was agreed beforehand that Norris will have to give the position back to Piastri
