That's why they should have run the same strategy as George. Both of them had the straight up pace to beat him but they decided to go for tire offset and went too many laps without going in. Everyone was trying their best to lose. George shouldn't have won that race.

At least it wasn't Hamilton's strategy. I was genuinely dumbfounded when they put him on softs mid race and guaranteed him a 3 stop. Even more dumbfounded the announcers weren't calling out Ferrari for doing so. I was trying to figure out what I was missing.

He went:
Medium: 12 Laps
Hard: 13 Laps
Soft: 17 Laps
Hard: 29 Laps


Ferrari doing Ferrari things.

I was very confused during the race but as it went on I think it was just painfully obvious that they were just slow and throwing stuff at the fan to see if anything sticks.

I get throwing **** at the wall and bringing him in under the VSC but why would you not go hard at that point? More laps to wait out for another safety car or the outside shot of finishing on those hards and gaining the 13 seconds or whatever for pitting under the VSC.. If you do have to make a third stop, the set of softs are still there.
