Let’s see how it pans out but McLaren could have avoided the situation by stopping both drivers earlier. The order would have been retained and the tyres should have easily made the end of the race. This way at least one driver will be very unhappy at the end.

To be clear the regulations do not give a speed limit. Drivers run to a safety car reference lap which is a time limit between marshal posts. The reg in question also states “slowly”.

I feel for the strategy and engineering teams now with a last minute reg change to deal with. It will add complication to every element of the race.

On the gap between VER and McLaren. VER has completed a sub optimal (slower) strategy in order to avoid traffic. This meant playing it safe with longer earlier stints and maximising the chance of safety cars.

Overtaking difficulty and a long pit loss should push teams towards a 1 stop. In the past a long first stint has avoided traffic and allowed an overcut.

With a disrupted P1 and a wet P2 the teams have little useful race tyre data from today. P3 data often isn’t useful as the drivers are focused on Q (and there is still a risk of rain). So we could see teams learning a lot during the race as they rely heavily on pre event work.
