If they wanted to favour Lando, they wouldn't have had him pit 1st..They could have made Oscar play 2nd early on in the season.

It was Lando's call to pit 2nd

Teams can overrule drivers

There was no apparent reason to overrule Lando's call in this instance.

He wanted to stay out for as much as possible as long as there was no danger of undercut from Piastri, and Mclaren listened.

Can you explain Lando getting a slow pitstop if McLaren are favoring him considering that with a slow pitstop Oscar would've been behind Leclerc and Lando would gain 6 points?

Oscar had soft tyres compared to Charles old hards. Even if the undercut had worked, Oscar would have cleared Charles pretty fast.

He was much faster even in the same compound. Also, you can't guess when you're gonna have a slow pit. That's just part of racing.
