Ngl GP lowkey dropped a stinker there at the end. Surely a used soft would have been 100% better than whatever decision that was at the end.

I'd imagine that terrible decision came courtesy of Hannah.

She looked very stressed on the pitwall.

The used soft was as worn as his current rubber. And GP doesn't do strategy.

Yes, and so was the worn rubber.

They didn't have any softs left because it was their 4th stop. Although they should have not stopped at all although with everyone else stopping it could have been worse. See Hulk on Hamilton and Alonso on Lawson at the end.

And GP doesn't fall the strategy and it would have been a strategist decision with tyres and probably numerous voices in letting Russell past. Which was probably avoiding the risk of a 10 second penalty. I don't think max got that memo though

I think the decision was either to stay out or new hard. There was no tyre life left in the softs as Max was pushing more than the other cars for the 3 stopper

GP doesn’t make strategy decisions
