Quite likely - given their grid slot a roll of the dice was certainly worth a go.

I think the formation lap was enough to show that slicks would work - Kvyat wanted to switch as well but the team didn't answer him (that we heard) - presumably to avoid the penalty that Haas got. It was only worth the switch for those near the back of the grid though so everyone else had to go with what they had. As you say, it's good to see people try something different rather than just taking the safe option.
