The result sets the outcome. Hamilton Lap 48 hard-to-soft stop sets the strategy judgment.
Decisive evidence
Ferrari stopped Hamilton from P2 on Lap 48, switching hard to soft. He was P3 after the stop cycle.
The checkpoints move from P2 at L47 to P3 at L49.
Includes travel through the pit lane; it is neither stationary service time nor net race-time loss.
Dots show recorded laps; missing laps stay blank. The gold line marks the call lap, even when no position point is available there.
HAM: The checkpoints move from P2 at L47 to P3 at L49.
The recorded order changed. These checkpoints alone cannot identify a pass, a position return, a retirement or a timing correction, or isolate the stop's effect.
Look atRead the labeled lap checkpoints in time order. Equal positions mean no change was observed; missing laps remain unknown. The timing trace and stop checkpoints can have different coverage.
Where the proof stopsPositions are recorded lap checkpoints, not the exact order at pit entry or the pit-exit line. The data lacks exact marshal-signal timing, pit-entry location, queue order and live pit-exit gap, so the what-if cannot be proven.
Source boundaryCited decision evidence. Official results anchor the finish; chart values are calculated from checked timing and normalized session evidence.
The option still open
Make P2 protection the rule: pit Hamilton only with protected-gap proof or an earlier actionable Safety Car discount.
