The safety car cost them, I am told they had a 26 second lead when it came out but that is something that has to be factored in somehow, you are always at risk of safety car intervention. Running the bio fuel seems to cause them to have to carry more fuel and so it takes longer to fill the larger tank. This is where they will have to put some development I suppose.
I agree about the downside of LPD but it is his train set and it will now depend on how much he wants to win as a team or as an individual
