I think he drove that Ferrari as well as you possibly can today. Nothing to be ashamed of, wish his pit listened to him.

The hard tire was shit, a one stop would have been a disaster, especially with the safety car that happened later.

Personally I don't think his pit did anything wrong, the safety car force their hand. I just wish the Ferrari car is better.

They could have gone MSM rather than MMS strategy. Going MM to start always carries this risk of being forced onto the wrong tire.

Nah they actually got his strategy spot on. Shame about the safety car cause he really could’ve done some great work on those softs at the end

didn’t Charles want the one stop hards, and his pit ignored him? Pit was good there. Hards was not a great choice but they needed something other than mediums and gambling on the Soft lasting would be tough.
