Do you think Dixon was that tight on fuel that he had to let Sato take lead with the hope of catching him at the end or did CGR underestimate Sato’s ability to run his fuel mixture richer in the final stint?

0:29.7	Here in a fire-ridden, smoky northern California, my wife, as always, just did exemplary things today at physical therapy.
0:41.8	In theory, today is the first day of a slowdown in content after the Ndie 500.
0:47.9	Can tell you that I have failed miserably in making that a reality for myself.
0:53.3	It's not a complaint, just an admission.
