Why didn't the teams change tires? (merged again)
In the first pit stop, especially for Hamilton, why didn't Mcaren at least put on a new set of intermediate tires?
Timewise the pit was almost 6 seconds just for fuel, tires could hae been done in that time frame. I realize they were trying to keep track position, but the right front on Hamilton was very worn and McLaren should have been thinking points, even a 4th place finish by Hamilton would have given him the championship over Raikkonen and only allowed Alonso to pick up 3 points virtually guaranteeing Hamilton the WDC. POINTS, POINTS, POINTS!!!! |
