I'd be interested to see the numbers for Sainz, if they are available. He was doing the same thing as Lando until his engineer told him to stay out. Watching the replay, the gap between Sainz and Albon looked larger than the gap Lando had. Not sure I understand why it was wrong for Lando, but okay for Sainz.
The maxiumum gap shown between Lando and Oscar was 7.3s. The maximum gap shown between Carlos and Alex was 2.6s. The track map corroborates this difference.
I think what saved Carlos was, ironically, the gap that Lando set up; Charles was instructed to do the opposite of Lando, so when Lando committed a few things fell into place simultaneously - Ferrari settled on their tire strategy, Charles and Carlos were to stay out, and, most crucially, Carlos had a LOT of time on casino to close back up to Alex, which he sort of did by getting the gap down to 1.6s.
Carlos was indeed being naughty, although he did partially address his transgression. Lando was being VERY unapologetically naughty.
