What the data supports
Pace reference: Kimi Antonelli
L52-L53 VSC states show Leclerc P6 on HARD tyre life 15-16. He later dropped to P7 P8 before pitting L59.
Option available at the timePre-arm Leclerc from the first L50 signal: if protected, stop. If not, document that P6 track position was worth more than the cheap stop.
