So why did Lewis stop so early in his first stint?

I appreciate that his second stop was dictated by tyre wear.

good question JB, the only thing I can think of is LH's tyres were damaged by all the shards of carbon fibre he ran over clearing the race's first corner carnage. I saw him even drive over a significent piece of front wing and wondered at the time it may have punctured a tyre.
