My understanding is that the Ferrari's pace on inters both when the Porsche was still on wets and again when it was on inters was sufficient to both hunt the latter down and pass it. Sounds like the Porsche got balked a bit coming in for its final stop, but by then Gaw had the pace in hand over Nykjaer to bring it home. I think that the Ferrari may also have had a quicker final stop to help build its lead? DSC mentions they only took on 25L of fuel at the final stop, but there is not a mention of how much JA took on.
