    Thought for sure McLaren made the wrong call there and Hamilton would fly by. But very impressed by Lando there. He earned that 2nd place. Hopefully they can keep this up.

      I still maintain it was the wrong call. It only worked because Lando drove perfectly. If Lando made even the slightest mistake, he would have lost that position.

      Expecting your driver to be prefect is not the right call.

        Stella said on C4 that they intended to go for the hards because of the vsc, but the full safety changed things, however they didn’t have time to then get the soft tyres ready in the pits. Basically there was a higher chance of losing positions by the time lost switching to softs in the pit lane.

          I thought it was fairly obvious that the vsc would turn full based on where the car stopped so that was still a small error on their part, but yeah, there’s always lots of things to take into account and it’s not always a simple x or y decision.

            I was honestly a little confused when it turned out to be a VSC. I figured the way it was stopped on the straight there was no way Marshalls could retrieve it safely.

            My comment even said safety car when I saw the car stopped, and I’d hit post before the virtual part came up
