They lost too much race time and they came out of the pits 8s back from Hamilton so Sainz didn't have enough laps to get into Lewis' DRS and attack. He only had enough time to get into DRS.
It was already too many laps left out. You think carlos' call to wait even longer and lose a ton more race time to Lewis would be worth it? This is basic strategy which you do not grasp Andres
It's hard to discuss logic with you because you will ignore it and choose to just keep building your sainz Vs Leclerc narrative and turning this thread into a complete mess
With your first message back in a while you're already trying to stir the pot. It's despicable
Quite curious that someone who mention basic strategy not being grasp, did not notice Sainz radio was AFTER the decision was made.
The stop should have been on lap 36, or 37 if you don´t want to risk a double pitstop (Leclerc had priority because of track position). But at lap 39, Sainz radio was not to decide strategy, strategy was already ruined at lap 39.
What Sainz should have said, but he´s too polite to be this sincere, is:
But tires were too wasted, so that was not even an optionSince you´ve ruined my race again, and Lewis will obviously undercut me when I go into pits, let´s try the only posibility to make something good of this mess, and leave me out to build a tire advantage for final laps
This is not basic strategy, you need some experience to notice this kind of decisions/options, not too much, but some, so I will not be as rude with you as you were with myself
