And that only worked for them because Renault and BAR Honda were, then, closer to the pace of Ferrari and McLaren than the chasing pack (with the possible exception of BMW) are at the moment. The gap has increased and there's now little scope for the grid order to be shaken up all that much.

Over time we now have a pattern. Everyone has realised that Saturday headlines rewards little for the race, when its best to do a final short stint. Another example is that when race fuel qualy was introduced drivers were willing to have enough fuel for about 15 lap first stint (over a 60 lap race), whereas now they can easily do 20 lap first stint.
