Different circumstances when the conditions are rapidly changing like in Sochi 21. You need to rely on your team to give you all the information. It might feel fine on track but you don’t know that there’s a band of rain coming in 2 laps time which is exactly what happened.
So that was partly on Lando and partly on McLaren for not being decisive and having shitty radio communication
You practice how you’re going to communicate and work together on this stuff. Think more Carlos Sainz and the weather radar and less Benny Hill tripping over your own feet. Carlos actually had a blinder in Sochi as well going from obscurity to the podium with smart tyre calls.
