I'm sorry but this is a poor decision considering they had information on STRs tire failure earlier. If I'm the TP, I dial it back and cruise across the line.

In 30 years of watching F1, I've never seen the race leader lift because of a possible tyre blowup.
Lifting because of tyre degradation management or fuel management? Hell yeah but not because of an impending puncture. If they knew the tyre would blow up they would have retired the car but of course they had no clue.
Very unfair to blame RB/Max for this. The fact that he set the FL is also no proof of him pushing - the fuel load simply got minimal towards the end of the race.
