I'm assuming you had hards for the second stint as well, fresh ones obviously. I saw your pace from the standings, you had some very quick laps, congrats. You would have definitely beaten me in Tuesday's race that I won. I actually changed tyres in the race I won too, but only because there was such a big gap between me and 2nd and I could afford the 9 second loss and still have a lead of a couple of seconds. It looks like Tadej won last night's race and was only 1 second behind your overall time, but judging by his lap times he pitted on lap 6 and didn't change tyres (or maybe he pitted and changed to softs and set a really quick outlap to overcome that time loss, I doubt it though). So it looks like either strategy could work depending on the comfort level with tyres and especially this track. I only got to do Monday and Tuesdays race, I was a bit too tired to do the other races each evening, but even with fresh enough hard tyres I didn't feel confident enough to push to get a sub 7:50 without really risking a crash. I think my best practice time was a 7:51.XXX when I really pushed while still being in control, so I definitely wouldn't have kept up with you even with your strategy choice.
