Lewis did the same, but the Mercedes pit wall told him it was going to get worse and made the call for him after his first time passing the pits. I suppose not wanting to make a similar mistake as Hungary had something to do with it too. McLaren didn't seem to relay to Norris how much more rain was coming so Lando figured he could tiptoe to the end. Pretty sure everyone had the same weather telemetry, so they should have forced the issue. I suppose Lando was focused on the 1st win, and rolling the dice on the tires would have just ensured 2nd. McLaren has built a fast car, now they need to work on a little better strategy.

Had the rain held off Lewis still may have got around Lando, but we'll never know. While the wet finish and the win was great for fand and Hamilton, Petronas would had been better off with the rain holding off for 5 minutes. At worse, Lewis comes in 2nd, but Max is still in 7th, so the points lead grows. Instead, we're at a split of 2 points with 6 confirmed races to go (7th still TBD at this point). Definitely sending this era of cars out with a bang
