Fuel strategy is likely going to determine who will win.
By the way: How does it differ? With all these stops under yellow, everybody should be on the same level at the moment. How do you build up a difference?

Pitstop issues for Rossi also plays into Fernando's hands. Looking promising.

There was talk about 3-4 drivers who actually had/have an advantage as they were the last few who have pitted up until Hunter-Raey stopped, so they could spare out one pit stop if they rationed fuel.

Lots of cautions, that isn't good for Fernando. He is really strong on green flag racing, but those cautions aren't doing him any good.

That last caution and pitstop round might have just cost Alonso the win. Still a fair bit to go though.

It doesn't take long to understand why Alonso doesn't mind missing the Monaco GP for this.

7th place, probably not stopping anymore. He has shown he can overtake, he'll have to show that big time if he wants to win now. With the amount of cautions we're having it will be really difficult to make those 6 overtakes.

I think that's game over.

EDIT: Now with his F1 engine, it's definitely game over.

I think Alonso is probably not Honda's biggest fan right now.
