At the Spanish Grand Prix, Ferrari decided on a strategy ten laps after Vettel suggested it. Now far be it from me to suggest that the team on the pit-wall maybe ought to be able to think of these things before the guy in the car, but really, it's what they're paid for.
But I didn't dab the "too indecisive to decide on a strategy" square because I fell into the same trap that all sports fans fall into at some point.
Hope!
I hoped that this was a one-off, and that they weren't falling back into bad habits. The Belgian Grand Prix dashed this hope. Telling one of your drivers that you'll be going for strategy C or D, when the driver has to do very different things now depending on which of those options you go with, is not helpful. They really did need to make a decision, and make it sooner.
"Pit stop disaster" is not dabbed, because the slow pitstops weren't due to a pitstop disaster but an engine pressure leak. I'm sure Ferrari will find a way to screw up a pitstop at some point.
