If Lando had pitted before Piastri and had the same slow stop issue causing him to end up behind Piastri, I wonder if Lando asks for a swap.
Lando is the one who suggested pitting Oscar first, not the team. IMO Lando wanted fresher tires than Oscar just to be safe. Since Lando didn't actually sacrifice the better strategy, there really shouldn't have been any reason to swap them...but I can see how the team didn't see it this way
