I guess we’ll never know for sure.
When Leclerc came into the pits early like that, the safer bet for RB would be to try to match your other car to the same strategy to cover your ass. However, since 2nd RB was Max, they’ve decided to not match LeClerc’s strategy… if Perez were running behind Max, I’m sure RB would’ve matched…
Anyway, too bad Leclerc DNFed.
Without the Ferraris, surely Perez cannot beat Max in a straight fight.
