I’m sure I heard Jenson say he would not have inherited Lewis' problems, because they were caused by him being faster than the team expected in the first stint.
They all have to fuel save at some point, but Massa had been pretty slow at points of the race, so he probably had full power available from Ferrari to allow him to challenge Lewis in the closing laps, so you get a big differentiation in times.
Also should be noted that Silverstone is one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest on the engine for fuel because of the amount of time spent at full throttle, so the fuel saving has an even bigger effect on lap time when compared to a twisty circuit.
Webber ran out of fuel on the parade lap last year, I think I remember Alonso running pretty dry too??
Anyhow, lets bash McLaren, because all of us single handedly could have done a better job.
