Yep, after hearing that, it sounds like it might have been more of a misunderstanding than anything. Lewis indicated he thought more people were going to be stopping than actually did. He was particularly concerned that Vettel might stop and thought Nico had done so. Then, Mercedes says there's no GPS use on this circuit and they didn't have the gap calculated correctly, either.
