Already screwed? Heikki started the race on harder bridgestone. How on earth did they know that Heikki will screw his race? Or are you referring to the qualification result of Heikki as the basis for this decision?
Either way, it's a prejudical decision by McLaren ruling out all chances of Heikki to race. Heikki races for Hamilton and it's just OK. Ferrari did it all the way down in 2000s or Renault have been doing it for 2 years but what is hypocratical in McLaren's case that they insist that they give equal chance to their drivers. Totally horse s**t.
Renault have been doing it to their drivers for more than two years, matey. Fisi was usually slow enough to sacrifice, often not being in the points or qualifying in the top 10. McLaren are now going down the same road, all they need to do is admit it..
Starting on super-softs would have been the better choice, but in fairness, a lot of the teams seemed to fail to realize that the hards were the weaker tyre. I don't think that McLaren sacrificed Heikki right from the start, they just used him as such after the first two laps, due to the way he bottled himself in.
