The most reasonable explanation from Merc was that the team was hoping for a miracle and slicks would be the right choice for the last few laps. Alas, the window of opportunity never arrived for slicks and by then those inters were trash, and the ideal window to change to fresh inters had long since passed. You could see in the pit stop the tread was gone. If they would have kept him out on those rags, who knows what might have happened. 7th? A DNF?
