Well Daniel was not faster than Yuki in quali or the through the raceโ€ฆ

He literally closed a 4 second gap to Tsunoda from lap 41. He was clearly faster than Tsunoda at the end of the race.

So it made no sense to me the call either.

The call was irrelevant because they wouldn't have scored points, but not nonsensical. Ricciardo could've had a real shot at passing KMag if that call had been done at the right time. It was agreed upon beforehand so it's nonsensical to not agree with the order when it comes.

Well Yuki was either in the dirty air or struck behind slower cars which allowed Ric to catch up. He might have faster around lap 50 but between verstappen coming to lap them and the softs degrading, it was a stupid swap. By the end of the race, the soft to hard crossover was reached and Yuki was the same pace/marginally faster.

It was agreed upon beforehand so it's nonsensical to not agree with the order when it comes.

Yeah making calls based on pre race agreements without taking the race situation into context is stupidity. It is the kind of stupidity we have mocked repeatedly when we have seen it from ferrari
