What a performance by McLaren! So impressed with Lando's driving in that last stint. Shame for Oscar, but P4 in his first F1 British GP as a rookie is nothing to be ashamed of.
I think if they didn't coward out on the hards than Piastri could have gotten his first podium. I'm honestly kinda angry at the McLaren pitwall.
They 100% should not have been on the hards, but in the end the softs did wind up falling away from those that used them, so it wasn't completely boneheaded.
I think you're right but it just hurt to see Oscar around a second behind Lewis coming around the last corner. The Papayas we're looking so good I cant imagine Oscar couldn't have made that up in the last sprint. So happy for them regardless, however.
The timing of the stop is just as bad as the choice of compound, but you can't really pre-plan for a VSC or an SC. Still, though, Oscar was super, super close in the final sector of the last lap. I'm sure Ham wasn't pushing super hard because he just wanted to bring it home, but one or two more laps and I think Oscar could have sniped that last podium spot.
