Why is a part supplier allowed to dictate race strategy ???
Is Brembo allowed to say ' we dont want our product to do more than 50km ??
Bell to say we can't guarantee our helmets beyond 186mph ??
NGK . your not allowed to go above 10,000 rpm ??
Either you supply a part that is up to the job or .. ?? .. Well that's it really !!

Because none of the suppliers you've mentioned are told by Liberty or the FIA (I forget which) to make their product deliberately inferior for the sake of entertainment.
 
Alternative would be the Indianapolis 2005 scenario with the twist of nobody racing 🤷‍♂️

Or the 2008 Brickyard 400 where NASCAR had to throw a caution every 10 to 12 laps to prevent tires from exploding.
 
HAM and HUL on softs, ALB and COL on hards, the rest mediums.
 
Max straight past Lando into turn 1
 
Lando, Landos the start
 
Niko crushes something.

I think he got tagged by Gasly on the right rear.

Whoa, need replay on what happened to Hulk and Gasly..
 
If anyone pits now, they can exactly do 2 25 lap stints

Edit: Max goes for it

Most of the field goes for it, other than the McLarens
 
Ah, Gasly clipped Hulk's right rear into Turn 1. Bummer.

How this goes depends on how far the softs can last and when McLaren pit where they will fall into the traffic.

Are hards doable? Or is it a last resort?

Ocon failed penalty served. Another penalty.

It seems stupid that penalties can be served under the Safety Car. They need to remove that rule because it's not a penalty then

Pretty much everyone but the McLarens will be on hards for the last 25 laps. Mclarens will be on mediums and then softs. That’s the advantage they are banking on.

That is a great question. Perhaps hards will work for everyone that pitted.
 
Half the field noted for yellow flag infringements

5 second penalties are all the rage these days.
