China: the double stop cost Leclerc.

The decisive scene

Lap 10 double stop

Ferrari’s main regret is accepting same-lap service risk for both cars when Leclerc then paid a 3.200s stop-time penalty relative to Hamilton. The one-stop plan was sound, but the stack-risk management was not clean enough for a race where the Ferraris were likely fighting each other for the final podium position rather than fighting Mercedes for the win.
