i don't believe for a second that RB in all their high IQ personnel and catering staff had not found any way to get Sergio a WDC P2
in other words, lap 1 has been choreographed, Sergio has been told not to fight, Max gets his reco- I mean win, and a crazy strategy that left Sergio hung out to dry.
meanwhile, go Charlie!!!  |
Sure . But was Checo 100% fast enough to win this race ?
That was very doubtful for the Red Bull team and they wouldn't take that risk .
On the other hand : MAX was fast enough to win 15 races in this season ..
MAX was always driving in clean air , that was better for his tires while Checo ran through his tires behind MAX .
It was very clear that MAX slowed down to give Checo DRS to make a bigger gap to Charlie .
But Checo wasn't able to hang on , and MAX's kept his tires fine in the clean air .
Checo could have made it with one pitstop , but his tires would be completely gone .
IMHO .For Checo there was no other choise .
Congrats for Charlie's P2 , he was the whole season faster than Checo anyway .
