There's something that just doesn't add up when looking at Alonso's last stint following his 2nd pit. If I remember correctly, during this time, Gasly kept pulling away little by little, increasing his gap. The rest of the pack were pretty much constant, or with little change between them in terms of gap.
However, if you compare Alonso's times following the last stint, they were constantly faster. Then, the last lap is measured at 1:50. Anyone else notice this? Am I missing something?
He slowed down to get lapped by Vettel so he could finish a lap down probably to save fuel
Ok that makes sense, since there's a similar lap with Magnussen. Still strange the impact is that of 15secs.
Yes he literally went snails pace. Before that last lap he was pulling away from Vettel actually. If you watch the TV feed you can see how slow he is going when Vettel passes him on the last lap. Huge gap behind, fight with hulk didn't work, back off, save the fuel and finish a lap early. He probably used up all the fuel trying to get past hulk
