All teams are served by Meteo France since 2017 including Merc yet McLaren somehow got it all wrong for unknown reasons and let Ham through for his 100th win whence if Ham came second and Max third then Ham would be trailing Max by two points and still be on 99 wins.
There's nothing coming forth from McLaren except speculation from the journalists that it was 'multiple decisions' in McLaren that got it wrong. I don't buy that.
To me, it sounded like Lando took a gamble and lost. He chose not to come in when told to. Tis is racing. I'm wondering though how much better the new Ferrari Hybrid PU is. Still wondering why they would continue to develop the MGU-H when it's on it's way out.

Also, LOL @ Merc being tactical by changing Bottas PU and Max passes him handily at the very beginning. Sounds like Valterri may have his own tactical decisions.
This.

The difference in communications from Merc to HAM and Mclaren to NOR was drastic.

All race the mclaren team was "asking" Lando how he is doing on tires or asking if he can stay out, "what are your thoughts on inters"… etc. They were clearly ANNOYING him with the questions and he just wanted to race. They needed to tell him to come in.

On the other hand Merc basically told HAM to come in, and he did, even though he didn't want to. I'm sure if they "asked" him to come in he would have waited until it was too late.
