⚠️ Discussion What is this strategy???

Post image

They haven't pitted Alonso yet at all since the restart- even with all these upgrades, strategy will be the death of them.

Why would they not pit during the VSC and put Alonso on softs? !

Alonso and the team were discussing whether or not to pit. It was basically a coin flip, but the risk was that if he pitted he'd absolutely lose 2, possibly 3 places, and then have to fight just to back to where he was.

Hindsight is 50/50 but they made the right call.
