McLaren “cost themselves” Miami GP win with "hesitant" strategy call, says Jolyon Palmer

Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer has criticised McLaren's strategy at the Miami Grand Prix, arguing they cost themselves the win by hesitating over a potential undercut. Lando Norris was leading the race when Mercedes pitted Kimi Antonelli one lap earlier for fresh tyres, allowing the Italian to complete a blistering out-lap and take the lead before McLaren reacted. Palmer stated the winning strategy was straightforward and that McLaren's indecision over the rain threat handed Mercedes the victory.
