Leclerc’s strategy ultimately proved superior to Perez’s.
Max won quite comfortably as I predicted, while Stroll had a decent drive to points.

I wouldnt say RB strategy was optimal, but I think PER lost to himself.
At least twice he botched an overtake today.
I would accept that “RB was not design to Perez driving style”, but c’mon he has to be able to put out fater laps – I suspect VER would have a better pace on older tyres.
And just as BOT finished 2nd/3rd in the MERC years, when he was not the 2nd/3rd best drive ron the grid, on pure skiills PER shouldnt be 3rd.
