Suggesting a three-stopper with two Hard stints while also suggesting the Hard can go 40-46 laps on the one-stop? I know there is a reason I’m on the couch and not the pitwall but what am I missing?
Not an expert here but just because two strategies say that you can for example do 20 laps on hards it doesn’t mean that those 20 laps are at the same pace.
What these graphs can’t include is the degradation of the tyre due do differences in driving style. So for that three stopper the hards are probably better than the stops because you can drive them aggressively for longer than the softs.
When the hards last for 40-46 laps the pace will be much slower and the tyres will need to be looked out after.

Of course, but are they really going to be a full pitstop faster?
