McLaren clearly got a couple of strategy calls wrong: not double-stacking Oscar ruined his race, and the tougher call of medium vs soft for Norris (rewatching the race fromm Norris's in-car feed shows it ended up being a joint decision with Norris first mentioning choosing the same tires as Hamilton). Piastri ended up gaining about 16-17 seconds on Norris by choosing the medium, so that choice is going to haunt Norris for a while. But it was brilliant driving by everyone at the top. Congrats, Lewis!
