Yes confirmed he had to abort and pit to ensure he had enough fuel to provide a sample.... the penalty for not having enough for that being a rear of grid start. So 8th is better than 20th especially round the streets of Marina Bay.
I think 8/12 races here have been won from pole..... of course Alonso won from P15 in 2008, but he had a little outside help then.
Maybe Max can still win from 8th with some clever strategy and a Safety Car.
