Sorry but that´s not true, you´re assuming same conditions for both or you think I´m doing that, when I´m not.
Better is an extremely relative term and I never tried to say what´s better. Better to do fastest lap? Better to last longer?
I said Ric would have fly pass him for the simple reason they did 47 laps on US and SS tires. Neither of them are supposed to last that long, but obviously a harder compound has an edge, so at any other track Ric could have waited till Lewis tires were done and then attack, but not in Monaco where Lewis was able to drive as slow as he want to nurse his tires and Ricciardo still couldn´t pass him
Since Lewis was so slow, Ricciardo tried to pass, but it was Monaco and he only managed to destroy his tires, but I never said any of those strategies are better than the other. Ricciardo was faster before destroying his tires but Lewis won, what´s better? I do prefer winning but that´d be an embarrasingly basic analysis of each strategy as there was other factors wich turned to be a lot more important (where are the wheels?)

So Force India in turn have more DF than Red Bull forcing Red Bull to use SS instead of Softs? This is the logic you are using and it fails scrutiny every single time, which is exactly why I pulled you up on it.
You are making massive statements on misunderstanding quotes and and backing them up using pseudoscience.
If you quote me, please do not manipulate what I said
Andres125sx wrote:... so I´d say it´s the other way around, it´s DF wich made a difference
I´m far from making massive statements, I´m expressing my opinion and reasoning trying to understand the reason some teams used US tires, some SS, and some S for same stint and same track conditions
Moreover, if I´d be evil-minded I could even say you intentionally removed some part of my post wich show I´m only giving my opinion to make it look like I´m doing massive statements, and then accuse me of falacy, ignoramus maximus and all that insults you´ve just posted...
But I´m not evil-minded so I´d say you simply misunderstood me. That´d be pretty normal considering I´m discussing about technical things I don´t fully understand on a language I don´t master

Did I say that?
As stated, I´m only trying to understand the reason they used each tire. Each car has different characteristics, DF is only one of the parameters affecting tire temperature managment, obviously there are many others like suspensions or that thing moving the wheel, but since I heard Lewis stating they had less DF than RBR, I considered that could be one of the parameters wich made them go for US tires. Is this reasoning flawed? Fair question
But I never said that´s the case, or at least that was never my intention, I´m only trying to figure it out
