I doubt anyone will totally run the tank dry and stop on the track a la Jean Alesi. The telemetry is just too good - remember Massa in spain last year?

But I can quite picture a driver slipping a few places having to run on a very lean fuel mix on the last few laps.

Yep, they have a very detailed fuel read out, it's critical after all.
Remember with Alesi his team had been calling him into the pits for about 3 laps before he ran out of fuel, so they knew fine well he was about to run out, but apparently Alesi chose to ignore them!
