There's no possible scenario in which it could have worked out. Even if by a miracle he jumped both Max & Lando he would have had to have pitted way earlier than them and would have been stuck in the pack. And, even if there was an early safety car, most would have boxed for hards just like him or stayed out, either way, he would have had status quo or worse still, been right at the back on hard tyres.
Exactly. They have an ocean of data, simulated and collected, to work with. They have tools that can take into account insanely small details and model them to perfection. And yet they found out with all that data starting on Softs was perfect strategy? There's a lot of people here who would have said no to Softs just by watching races this season
All of their statements are increasingly unfounded lately. Team needs to reset and while you are bs-ing yourself you can't reset... But yeah, I'm a hater for saying Wolff should stand down. Fish stinks from the head, that's just the way it is.
McLaren, Ferrari, Alpine, Sauber, VCARB, Williams, even Haas (though in their case the owner started investing more again) - all of them had issues and changed their TP to try to solve them in the last 2 years. Teams still having issues and keeping their TP? Aston Martin and Mercedes

Gice them a break Vanja, its not as if theres multiple seasons worth of evidence at this point showing that pushing tyres to 100% at the start of a stint Will burn them out, is there?
And why WOULDNT you want to start a basically guaranteed 1 stop race on a used set of tyres with the shortest lifespan compound available?

Yea i dont know why they thought this at all... It seemed pretty clear the softs wasnt a good race tire, so much so Lewis didnt even have a new set to start on.
I'm speechless, honestly... This is not the way to repay their Champ at all
