        I only saw him fall back, how did he get back in the pack? They were trying to make adjustments while he was tumbling backwards, did those pay off in the end? Or was it just pit/tire strategy that netted him 7th?

          They put him on Hard tyres, but had zero data on it because of the weather Friday and Saturday. It was atrocious, so they pitted him again for softs and he went to overtake-town.

            I think pitting for softs before the rain really helped him shoot up the field, he was lapping about 4 seconds faster than Verstappen at one point when everyone else was struggling.
