Can I blame AR for bottas’ strategy? I mean the AR didn’t have the speed for points but jfc that one stopper was rough to look at, even if the “sc strat” -brainrot was behind it
Considering tsunoda made the one stop work pretty well, I think that it was worth the risk for AR. They were going to finish well outside the points anyway and went for it.
AT is a better car and bottas is certainly not a tire whisperer (at least during his reign in AR), I really don’t see how it would’ve worked without godsent safety cars.
