Again, no... The Mercs are now running as fast as they can until the end. Pay attention to team radio.

Huh? Merc just told Lewis he was fine to push until the end now. That's hardly fuel saving.
It is not all about the Merc, you Hamboy..
If one team can do it, any team can do it. F1 cars are perfectly capable of running at full pace for pretty much all the race.

And of course....

RB Team Radio to Ricciardo: "We'll get more K with this setting"

The Mercs are still saving fuel. They're just able to run their fuel-saving program to the max.

And now Hamilton's been ordered to turn his engine down.

Mercedes have already called off any fight for first. Rosberg is fighting Vettel. Hamilton is fighting reliability. Some rain would be good haha

The last 20 laps will be good from Red Bull backwards....the mercs are running a engine and fuel save programme in tandem and they're still faster than Red Bull. :D
It is good to see a driver see sawing in a corner or correcting oversteer...whatever you think of the race.
