In fact the LH's stints 2 and 3 were very "narrows" in terms of lap time variations (in particular stint 2 was relatively "longish"). Stints 1 and 4 were more "normal", "wider" set of laps.
Interestingly, this season, lap times during a stint don't always follows a clear pattern according to the decreasing fuel weight. Tyre wear plays a role and sometimes lap times are pretty stable, sometimes the best laps are the first ones and the last ones, and sometimes the last laps are the best. Certainly with less fuel in pitstop the overall speed is faster along those patterns in the stint, but it is not being the major factor in homogeneity of laps.
