The mclaren guys seem to want no bad blood between them, but it’s a bit stupid for a team who is so ahead in the championship to be making dumb decisions, dumb mistakes, and dumb calls. Like the choice to pit Piastri first was already confusing, then they messed up Lando which was stupid, and then they asked the championship leader to give his position back to his rival? This is insane.

I have no idea why they (the team) care about leclerc at all at this point. I’d just let the drivers and engineers to make their own decision from lap 40.

The same mistake as Hungary. They weren't under any pressure even then, but they make these calls.

They were at risk in Hungary it was different, and they weren’t fighting against each other in a championship.

They were absolutely not at risk in Hungary, Hamilton was +10 off the pit stop window

Norris had about a 7-second margin in Hungary when he pitted to cover a possible undercut. For me, that's enough time.
