Why are they so obsessed about the Max-Perez pit stop. It wouldn’t matter, Max would pass Perez in a couple of laps anyways. He got the gap down from 10 to 2.5 sec.

I don't get it either.. They gave Perez inters first, dragged him up to the front, then Max got softs first, giving him back the lead.

They just saved Perez the embarrassment of getting passed by Max on track. Max is 6 seconds ahead already, for crying out..

It's absolutely insane. Verstappen is on another plane of existence this season.

I also think that it wasn't malicious, I think they had to defend against Alonso. The other choice would have been double stacking Checo and Max, coming with its own risk.
