The top 5 stayed the same, but the top 4 are getting tighter. 254 points separates first through fourth. The mid-field pack of sixth through eleventh had a lot of swapping around while the back markers of twelfth to sixteenth saw no change.

So has The A-team taken the foot off the gas?? Has he run out of battery and fuel?? Is he going to coast over the finish line to victory?? Using the recent form tables he is in tenth. Is he just managing his position? He hasn't lost that much ground to the Turbo Hybrid Power Units who is ninth over the last 3 races. Of course, everyone seems to be down at this time as the highest points total is in the 18 hundreds whereas it was in the two thousands a few races ago in Italy. Is there enough time for Turbo Hybrid PU, Sunday Drivers & BetterWhenWet to overhaul The A-team. It could be close!!!
