    I guess they were assuming the race would get going with 2-3 laps to go and in that scenario it’s nearly a sure thing that the Merc should pass Lewis.

    Still though I think with the amount of variables it seemed to me leaving him out was the best call. I also think putting Russel to 2nd then jeopardizes 1st place potentially, leaving Lewis 2nd would have made that quite certain.

      I’m also not sure if they thought they would come out ahead of Russell: I am always very confused by these “speed delta” (my ignorance probably) but they had 12-13s advantage and the run through was shown to be 10s, so it turns out correct with a 3s stop I guess

        Speed delta would be much more important in the virtual safety car, where in theory the gap between cars is maintained.

        With full safety cars I think they do have a maximum speed and other rules but clearly it’s not the same for everyone since they always bunch up
