Yuki Tsunoda spent five laps leading the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but wasn't aware he was heading the field at the time.

    It’s a shame the strategy didn’t translate into a higher finish. Not sure why they made him extend his first stint for so long. Alpha Tauri’s strategy calls are so bizarre at times.

      They were slower than the RB, Astons and mercs behind so they knew they had to go a different route strategy wise to beat them. Considering stroll who started on hards and went as long as tsunoda in the 1st stint finished well behind him (at one point in the race, stroll was within 5 secs of tsunoda and at the end he was over 10 secs behind), it seems AT and yuki made the right call

    Imagine they had told him and he binned it. Probably a good choice by the pit wall.
