I do not understand why you are so critical about Lapierre. Judging from the average lap time during his double stint (excluding in and out laps), he was a bit faster than Wurz:
- Wurz: 1:30.328
- Lapierre: 1:30.227
- Nakajima: 1:29.853
Nakajima was the star in the Toyota. The other drivers could not match his speed.
Furthermore, Treluyer showed that a race can get ruined by being too aggressive in traffic. Lapierre probably did not want to repeat his Bahrain mistake.
