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?

I think Lewis' analysis was spot on.

He said that McLaren pushed way too hard too early on (didn't Piastri set like 5 fastest laps in the middle of the GP?).

When Bono was relaying lap time information of the cars ahead to him he thought "there's no way the McLaren's tyres will last, they've forced themselves into a 2 stop strategy", which did indeed turn out to be the case, and it opened the door to Ferrari doing the 1 stop.

Good point, thanks!
