Agree, if you look at it:
By pitting Kimi we covered BOT and VER and had an advantage since Kimi would come out ahead of Sainz.
By letting Seb out we covered RIC. Because of Seb would have pitted also RIC could do the undercut on Seb and Kimi and take the win.
By doing what we did we covered everyone off and made sure we would win the race. If the undercut was the way to go, Kimi would win, if the overcut was the way to go Seb would win. We didn't risk the win.
