Really glad it worked out. I understand the reasoning, but what I dont understand is that they could have known way before the VSC and safety car that the softs were an option. Looking at the amount of laps left and the amount Russel did on the softs. Fortunately Lando van drive and the McLaren is fast. The hards did the trick luckily.

I agree. It seems like the hard tire decision was the โ€œsafe betโ€ on the pit wall. With Oscar already out on hards, i think Iโ€™d like to see a little more feistiness out of McLaren by putting Lando on softs.
