Tyre strategy analysis
Verstappen made his single stop earlier than both McLarens and kept the lead. A slow Norris stop briefly promoted Piastri to second, before the team ordered the original order restored and then allowed racing to continue. The main factor deciding McLaren’s internal order was pit-stop execution and the subsequent team instruction, rather than tyre-compound differences.
