Stroll was one of the first (with BOT) to go to inters if I look at the information given during the race

I wonder if feedback from him played a role in the decision to send ALO out on slicks again.
On the other hand:
  • 55 laps with the same tires (graining, degradation and all)
  • those tires are mediums (instead of hards) supposed to last 30 to 38 laps
  • at the daunting crash-prone Monaco street circuit
  • rain intensifies
  • several cars getting into trouble even with inters
  • a lot to lose (leading the race)
    = maximum risk
But Verstappen bossed it. Images showed how he was 'dancing on ice', almost losing control of the car, in treacherous conditions shortly before pitting for inters.

When the rain started to fall, Fliplegend chimed in with the comment:

He was right. We have seen those who managed to control their cars in the rain and those who didn't.
