I didn’t say it was to his advantage, I said he got all the luck.. the timing of the SCs worked well for him and his tyre life. Contrast with LeClerc who definitely got the wrong end of the stick with both SCs😂, and Piastri who if they hadn’t pitted early and toughed out the medium tyre would have ...
