Great strategy from McLaren. Interested to see how things work out with no DRS for Max.

Gasly got a huge jump. Finally a W for Alpine. Sainz got shafted unfortunately.

And now the tables have turned between Oscar and Max thanks to the safety car!

Why was that great strategy? It was the only thing they could do?

They could have chosen to stay out the first lap. But yeah I guess that wasn't really a smart option.
