They would have the advantage of not making a pit stop.
They still finished 30+ seconds behind the lead, so not a win but maybe higher
Even if they everyone else pitted I'd think everyone else would catch up to them. It's a lot of if and buts, as there would almost certainly be safety cars which would change things up.
If you say so, an 18+ second advantage is quite substantial.
So is driving a car red Bull, McLaren or Merc over a Haas. Not even mentioning the fact that a better driver can be seconds faster in the wet. That 18+ second advantage is not as big as you think it is for a person in a slow car
