Fastest lap from LEC and VER in the race.
Are you sure you're comparing the correct laps? Leclerc's fastest lap was like 9/10ths faster than Verstappen's.
Yep, 100% sure, lap 45 and 51.
Also taking from race topic:
"The double failure of the RB18s (even Perez's spin is not a simple driving error) is explained in Ferrari with the K-1 factor. That is, the function (not to be confused with a PU mapping) that allows you to use the maximum combined power of the ICE and the motogenerator connected to the transmission, i.e. the MGU-K. It is used at the start (of a race), once the 100 Km/h have been reached; and then, in the race, when you need power to defend yourself or to attack. In other words, Binotto's colleagues are convinced that they broke the bones of the opponent, who having to ask too much of its poor (in the sense of mistreated) former Honda unit, ended up cooking the batteries"

So this is basically what I said yesterday looking at telemetry, they ran their engine too hard and didn't recover enough to keep up with them and came short on fuel.
