I'm not sure the mclaren degradation has been anything special.

Lando has to pit soon.
The benefit isnt deg. The benefit is a quicker delta for the same thermal deg.

Max will kill his tyres when he's close, if he's close. His softs will go soon.

1st stint gave them the measure of those softs, they know what it can do at the end of the race and make a more informed tyre choice at stop 2.
But mclaren is a slightly precarious position with redbull daring to 2 stop or potentially pushing upto lando and undercutting. Mclaren forced to push and get timing spot on.
Norris stays out and reacts to RB. Piastri to pit. If Max doesnt stop then Landos delta on softs will be enough.

If Max tries to get close to Lando he'll kill his tyres.

Oscars doing push laps now. He's pitting soon.
Sounds simple put like that but there's a real balancing act going on with charles bringing himself into play also. If max pits and Oscar responds next lap then by time lando pits he will be undercut by max

Charles has got to get past Max first. His fight is for 3rd.

Not really sure the strategy has been wrong today. Unsure what they should have done differently.
