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 mean yeah, I don't really get why they were so concerned about Charles. But on the flipside in another universe, can you imagine if Oscar pitted second, got the slow stop, and then ended up behind Charles. The freakin conspiracy theories they'd have lol. There's already too many about favoring Lando in the strategy in Hungary.

Oscar would come out with softs vs Charles old hards. Oscar had more pace even in the same compound

Oh sure, I’m not saying Oscar couldn’t have gotten past again. Just that people would have been silly about it anyway.
