Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer criticized McLaren for unsuccessful strategies in the São Paulo Grand Prix. Lando Norris lost the lead to George Russell at the start, followed him into the pits under virtual safety car, a move that backfired as Ocon and Gasly took the lead. A few laps later, a crash led to a red flag, benefiting Ocon, Verstappen, and Gasly with a free pit stop. Verstappen, aided by smart strategy, took victory, showcasing Red Bull’s edge over McLaren in strategy execution.
