Last year, whenever Charles was faster than Lewis while Lewis was ahead, Ferrari would issue team orders. Lewis always complied because he was thinking about the team. But this year, they are afraid to even ask because they know Charles wouldn't do it, which would make everyone start calling the team cowards.
@_allthatglitz@meyl_m They told him after the vsc ended? What is the use of pitting then? The team themselves said he would risk losing 2 positions by pitting. Which puts him in p5. He finished p6.
@_allthatglitz@seraph_als Make it make sense. You are on 20+ lap old tires. And you “refuse” to pit under the vsc which saves 10s in race time. The “missed the pit entry” BS is just to save face and not show that the team is biased towards one driver.
@gaetanovalent19@FER44Rl Before you come at me that i am biased and against charles. No, i am not furious at charles. Just furious at the team for throwing away a double podium. I dont care if it was charles p2 lewis p3 or vice versa.
@gaetanovalent19@FER44Rl What makes you think charles would have been stuck behind lewis? Lewis was on a 2 stopper at that moment and charles was on a one stopper. Ferrari chose to prioritise charles, even during the vsc they called in charles. They called in lewis after the vsc. Make it make sense?
@gaetanovalent19@FER44Rl You do realised lewis was on softs given a target laptime of 36.5. Which he could not achieve while being stuck behind charles. Because it is hard to overtake around singapore. Just like kimi could not get passed lewis in the opening laps while lewis was on mediums.
@troymanthey@_allthatglitz Mate, yes he made the call to stay but that was when they asked him to pit AFTER the VSC and the team said he risks losing two positions.
@simscircuit He is referring to the pitstop call after the VSC ended. The call to stay out by lewis was AFTER the VSC. They did not call him into the pits during the VSC.
For clarification purposes, Lewis wasn’t called to pit under VSC on lap 39. Leclerc was.
Shortly after the VSC Hamilton was reminded he was on Plan B and they were getting close to his pit stop. That was when he made the call to stay out in the hopes that another VSC would be deployed.
I believe that’s the call he is apologising for.

@RenegadeBL41R@MattP1Gallagher The decision to stay out was his AFTER the vsc. They wanted to pit him after the vsc ende. Santi himself said they risk losing 2 positions if they pit now (after the vsc)
