I was wondering why McLaren stuck with the hards but that reasoning makes sense. Still not sure why they went with the hards in the first place though. The race was well over half finished and they could have completed it on softs. In the end I don’t think it changed anything but curious nonetheless.
I wonder if they were concerned about their deg with softs since Silverstone is typically a high deg track. Maybe they didn’t do any long runs in FP and didn’t have the data to show that they could last 20+ laps.
Thank you for quoting the article.

I’m guessing one reason was that they had new hards available, but only scrub softs.
