Why would anyone pick the top strategy over the second one? If the faster tire fits in the time slots surely you'll go for those no?
It’s the difference between going all out in the third stint or taking it a bit slower.
Depending on the car and driver and track conditions it will depend.
It’s not always softer = faster even for the same amount of laps. Softer tyres don’t last as long AND lose performance faster, so if you could get 15 laps from the soft you probably could do it faster on the mediums.
Hope that made sense
