Like with Raikkonen and his flat spot a couple of years ago, it wouldn't have been an issue if Hamilton had managed to take as good care of his tyres as Alonso and Raikkonen did. It may have been possible, then as now, for McLaren to have brought him in to chance, but doing so might have meant he needed another stop later in the race. Race strategy always involves risk. That risk will have paid off for him earlier in the season, it has just caught him out this time.

Or, if Lewis hadn't overcooked it going into the pit lane corner, knowing his tyres were in bad shape, he would have stayed on the track and been able to continue. A mistake came just at the wrong time for him unfortunately.
