pit him before Hamilton so he emerges in clear air and he could have made enough ground up that when Hamilton pitted Max would go into the lead. No?
Maybe, it would require Max to be significantly quicker than Hamilton from the moment he pits onwards to make up the clean air deficit, overhaul Hamilton then get some gap from him. The danger is that the early pit stop and subsequent super hot laps means his tyres die off catastrophically later on to point where Hamilton can overhaul him on track.

Sure, but to keep Max back requires that he's in the dirty air behind a Mercedes, pit him before Hamilton so he emerges in clear air and he could have made enough ground up that when Hamilton pitted Max would go into the lead. No?
