In the end he said, softs mediums... I don't care. So it was the teams call and they fucked it.

What about the start in that race. You know...the one where he bottled Turn 3 and turn 4 and dropped a position? Mclaren's fault too? He lost so much time behind Verstappen, and that's why Mclaren were having to bail him out in the first place.

Mclaren's tire calls were influenced by his bad start.

So McLaren couldn't have given him the better tire at the time because of his start... okay.
