I understand it's hard, but this IndyCar - not a little middle of no where series. Palou in the post-race interview said his team made awesome strategy calls and that's why he's leading the championship. I raise the idea that they made competent strategy calls, not awesome ones.
You won't win titles when you make strategy calls like McLaughlin and Power had today.

Scotty's pit box calls were bad, when you're the only one staying out maybe that's a sign.
Will Power you have to wonder what happened. But it seems Ericsson had the same issue and that's not only 2 teams but engines. I think there was much more deg than expected and the fuel burn wasn't expected.
But they also don't run 3700 versions of pot strategy back at the factory. Something to be said for making them make the call on the box without a great book and 8 million sensors. And often you'll see the team who gets it wrong today be dead on next race. And they never cry and whine about it on the radio like another series
