Vasseur said that they were planning on double stacking but Lewis made the call to stay out.

Yea thanks that makes alot more sense. Reading the information coming out from other social platform had me confused.

Vasseur also said Lewis missed the pit entry (seems like the comms was all over the place) and only chose to stay out because the alternative was taking a full pit stop with the VSC ending the next lap.

People are having a knee jerk reaction and assuming Ferrari was doing Ferrari strategy things. I mean, with their track record I understand why people would assume that lol.

Anyway, not sure what was going on, who was at fault etc, but it was blindingly obvious that he should have pitted, especially since he gave up on the mediums so early. It was a no brainer. I have no idea what anyone was thinking, if Lewis made the decision thats on him, but its also a tiny bit on Ferrari for not telling him to not be daft.

"Under the VSC, the team called me in, but I missed the entry. After that, I decided to stay out and try to hold track position to the end,

Post race statement from Lewis. He also chose to start on those medium tires. So yeah I don't think there was anything Ferrari could have done better.

One can argue that Ferrari should have asked Leclerc to let Lewis pass because at that point they were on different strat but like Leclerc was putting in faster laptime on those medium tires than Lewis best laptime on those softs so.... 🤷
