Precisely. Verstappen was on a ‘do the opposite’ strategy. At that point everybody knew the race would end behind the safety car. Sad as it is, that’s racing. Rules are rules. Track position was everything. Verstappen gamble worked only and only because Masi did not apply the rules. Good for Verstappen.
For the record. Verstappen did not do anything wrong. He’s a good lad, an extremely talented driver. He deserves many championships. Masi fucked up.
