A VSC or SC would benefit him even more then as Max had already pitted, no?

You only risk an undercut which the pace was showing Max was absolutely no where near

No because that would eliminate the gap he had built up if it came at the wrong time. Again its about minimising the risk, these teams have simulations running all permutations.

Of course it might go wrong and Max could win but the best strategy based on the information available at the time was to stay out.
 
Looks like Hamilton will keep the lead.

Good strategy to keep him out, being on the same bit of track as Max isn't worth the risk.

Max needs a safety car now, where is Piquet Jr when you need him?

Sorry need you to explain to me how the VSC or SC make it worse if Lewis stayed out.

If its SC Lewis gets free pit and comes up in front, everyone stacked up regardless. Lewis then has fresher tyres in this scenario
VSC gets again a better pit but the gaps are maintained when he comes out, which would be a net gain?
