That was a great race. Especially because of the rain and the high reliance on tire strategy. Which McLaren shit the bed at ๐Ÿ˜‘

But good for Lewis for taking it home, at home. Would've preferred a Max win, but I'm happy for Lewis. That was much deserved.

Would've preferred a Max win

I know. When will the poor lad start winning some races?

Sorry for having a driver and team I prefer I guess ๐Ÿ™„

Nando was a lap too late, hardly shit the bed. Lewis did amazing at calling no slicks in the early part of the race

I think they talk about the second pit-stop when McLaren decided to not double-stack and pit Piastri first then Norris next lap.

Edit: And the choice to use Soft tires when Mediums were available which would probably have ended faster than both Hamilton's Softs and Verstappen Hards near by the end of the race.

Soft tires when Mediums were available

This is the one I can't figure out either. Not sure if that one is on the driver or team, because Lando fumbled his way into "any kind of slick would be better" over the radio. I haven't had a chance to watch it back to hear the entire exchange yet though so maybe there was a more defined call made at some point that wasn't broadcast on the main feed.

The softs were used and the mediums were new. McLaren has long carried the trait of quick tire switch-on and should have known it was more or less a sprint to the finish at that point.

Very confusing.

Lando also went for the softs instead of mediums even though he had new set of mediums. Piastri made the right choice but Lando didn't.
