Far worse than the pitstop for Ferrari is the complete lack of pace. Even on twisty circuits, they are miles off Red Bull now.
I wondered that. The commentators seemed focussed on whether they were covering a tyre error, but your theory was the more likely for me.
Thought that myself. Pulls over but no safety car thrown do the go round. Fiddle and send him back out to try again. Very very odd. In the end this is fascinating now cos verstappen has the lead but the slower tyre. Race on.
Red Bull had to pit or Mercedes would have. Definitely a bit of Karma to get the second safety car. Very much game on.
