I didn't know that, but I still find it entirely inexplicable. Stroll stopped for inters at 16:10:52. Almost 3 minutes later Fred stopped and put on slicks. Didn't Stroll provide any feedback once he was out on track? Fred's second stop took 25.9 seconds. He probably lost 10 or 15 seconds skating around for that one lap on slicks. Then he finished 27.9 seconds behind Verstappen. For me, that looks like a race win thrown away.
