Yes, Sainz is going to the end on that set, both cars in fuel management modes atm if you look at the screen in the tunnel. Just keeping Kvyat behind whilst getting that out of the way and keeping the tyres good, and keep close enough to Gro to get the overtake in the pitstop.

Nobody is fast enough behind to worry about loosing 6th yet so all eyes up front to see if they kill the tyres.

Norris is close to build up a full pit stop distance for that 10th place. He needs to stay a little more out.

Norris is building the gap to Kimi, which is already 15 seconds... If they can get that gap to 20 seconds, Norris can pit and come back in 10th... The other thing is that they probably want to come back on Softs and they need at least 10 more laps to have good pace if needed... Gap to Kimi now 18 seconds... He is almost in the window to pit!

The blue flags for the leaders should help Norris with the gap to pit the next time around.

edit: ouch, unfortunate timing from Kimi there.

We may have stretched it a little bit too much!

Unfortunately he need to enter now cause he might lose that distance.

Norris has enough fuel saved to run full attack mode for a couple of laps though, he might get Ric.

Sainz is 6th and will finish there.
Does that mean Alonso would won?
