Why did the teams switch to slicks. Making up more than the pitstopgap in 6 laps has to a very unreasonable gamble

For people out of the points the gamble might have helped. Definitely worked for George.

For Hulk, I think he put too much into his tires at the start, he probably would have finished out of the 8 if he stayed on the inters.

It worked for Russel though! No chance at points otherwise imo

But he could profit from the other guys also switching. I wonder if everyone else stayed on inters if he would finish in the points.

My thoughts aswell but atleast it makes for more excitment for us

If you were out of the points, the gamble was worthy.
