Ferrari took a lot of criticism from fans and pundits alike for their failed strategies throughout the season. However, the masterstroke displayed by them in Abu Dhabi on Sunday caught even Red Bull’s strategists off-guard. They suggested Charles Leclerc to come in for a second time for a tire change to undercut Sergio Perez.

Charles Leclerc was, however, never to come in for a second pit stop and the radio message was bait for the Red Bull strategists. Taking the bait, they called Sergio Perez in for a tire change while Leclerc stayed out and eventually finished ahead of Perez and took the runner-up position in the drivers’ standings.

For the uninitiated, BeReal is a platform where one can share photos from every day with their followers. What separates it from the rest of the social media platforms is the restriction to post only one photo each day. Moreover, users randomly receive a notification to post the photo within two minutes. What further separates it from the rest of the social media platforms is the attempt to curb hours of scrolling and addiction.
