That was very doubtful for the Red Bull team and they wouldn't take that risk .
On the other hand : MAX was fast enough to win 15 races in this season ..

MAX was always driving in clean air , that was better for his tires while Checo ran through his tires behind MAX .

It was very clear that MAX slowed down to give Checo DRS to make a bigger gap to Charlie .
But Checo wasn't able to hang on , and MAX's kept his tires fine in the clean air .
Checo could have made it with one pitstop , but his tires would be completely gone .
IMHO .For Checo there was no other choise .

Congrats for Charlie's P2 , he was the whole season faster than Checo anyway .
if I were Sergio I'd be very worried. Sergio wants a car like how Jenson Button likes them ...

whereas Ricciardo's preferred car setup is like Max ... so if RB needs a faster driver they might just sneak Ricciardo in to be their number 2 ...
