Does Piastri's second stop make any sense? (lemmynsfw.com)

Hi all, maybe I missed something but wouldn't splitting the strategy have been the first choice for mclaren? Given that Norris was taking time to catch up and overtake on new hards, why would you want to pit the lead driver?

If he hadn't pitted but Lando did, highly likely Lando catches and overtakes him. Also, there is a good chance that Charles would have pitted a second time then overtook him as well. The tyre delta for both mclarens at the end to charles was huge, and the ferrari was kinder to its tyres than the mclaren.

From the team's perspective, Lando overtaking him would be beneficial, right, since it would be a 1-2? If Charles pits, yeah, it makes sense to respond, just no need to do it before that since mclaren has a faster car. But yeah, if ferrari was much kinder to tyres, I see the point..
