The mandatory two-stop strategy experiment led to chaos on the track, with teams resorting to questionable tactics to gain an advantage.
F1 fans were left stunned as teams strategically slowed down their cars to create gaps for pit stops, with Racing Bulls, Williams, and even Mercedes being accused of manipulating the race.
