There were others out there that tried to turn on the inters , and couldn't at that point on the drying and cold track , so Stroll should get a bit of a break there .
And , Checo should thank Lance for being the guinea pig , showing him the inters were not the way to go .
Checo made them last , so deserves praise for that , but he stated after the race that it looked like the tires would not have lasted another lap .

So , there was luck involved in his second place .

Mind you , Lance wanted slicks , so who knows how that would have worked out .
The car was working it's tires hard , which is the reason for the graining starting as the dry lines appeared , but also likely the reason Lance could drive away from them in the first stint , so maybe slicks would have worked .
