Why didn't they pit Lewis during the safety car? They could have told George to stay 10 cars behind, they had Albon in between Lewis and George too, and then he could pit and stay ahead of Max.
Poor restart by Lewis though, he should have waited to go at the start finish line as car behind must stay behind rear wing of car in front now.
Yeah I didn't understand why Lewis went so early on the restart. It's like he gave up already. But Max would have gotten him sooner or later. That much is clear. Lewis needs to think for himself more and force strategy like George has been doing. Once you see Max behind on softer tires, surely you don't want to be on a harder compound. He is relying on the Merc pitwall too much, a pitwall which has cost him some races last year so it surely ain't the best.
The reason why George is doing a better job than 7xWC is not due to luck, it is simply down to him paying more attention to details and constantly thinking ahead of his WC teammate. Simply put GR is more focused on being F1 driver, while LH's focus is F1 celebrity.
Maybe LH's mind is too caught up thinking about what he is going to wear, that he has to rely on the pit wall to think and make all the decisions for him.
The last time LH uses an F word, he got one back from the pitwall. But now, being a F1 superstar, Toto has to apologise for forcing the F word out of Lewis mouth.
