When you actually look at the head to head lap time its obvious that #1 Red Bull was the faster car at Bahrein and 2 wrong strategy.
Now if Red Bull would of kept the medium tire for the shorter last stint that would of been much better. They used the medium tire in the middle stint which was the longer stint.
You haven't said anything new, and in responding I won't say anything new either. Red Bull's strategy worked. Max caught Lewis with 5 laps to spare, a faster car and much better tyres. You cannot say a strategy has failed when it puts a driver of Max's caliber in such a position. We can speculate about how other strategies could have been better, but the one they did use did not fail. It worked. It put their driver in a strong position to win the race.
Perhaps the fact that you don't just need any winning strategy but the absolute best strategy theoretically possible to beat Lewis in a slower car tells a tale of its own.
