If no....where did MB's data lead them to conclude a 1 stop strategy was acceptable??

I'm not sure about it . Like you say it's new . Lewis was called to pit with 70% in green left on his front and rear tires on the display .
Or was it just a Merc-strategy to hand over the victory to Bottas ?
Lewis can cruise to WC anyway...
Yea that one in particular, didn't Lewis say his rears were shot at that point? I'll have to go back and rewatch...
