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

For sure the Power and Ericsson ones can be caused by unexpected fuel burn. But as you said, Scott McLaughlins pit call was just bad. In fact, it was beyond bad - it was so bad that the commentators couldn't even work out how it could possibly work, even with mad yellows in random places.
I'm beginning to question the quality of work Penske is putting out there at the moment. Their IndyCar season has been that of a mid-field team. At Mosport, they were beaten by the privately entered JDC car. In WEC they are not out-preforming the pirvately entered Jota car.
Penske needs a shake up. They are better than what they are producing at the moment.
