We are on the same page here..I was just pointing out that you miss something when you read the graph.i reckon Lewis's would have splitted the Ferrari seeing the deficit Merc has in S3 where they were loosing 2 tenths to Redbullorganic wrote: ↑03 Sep 2022, 18:38Clearly I misinterpreted the data, thank you for pointing that out.
Still, looking at the data comparisons of max against other laps, you can see Verstappen braking significantly earlier for the turn where lewis makes up lots of time on him, and he gains it all back on the exit of the final corner. Pretty obvious that he's compromising his line for later gain. It's like missing the corner braking point and then taking the delta at the apex when you aren't going to make the corner. Of course you can be ahead at one particular moment but it's when the whole picture is there that reasonable conclusions can be drawn. Look at the final turn comparison for ver vs ham on his other lap and the same delta change is there. Max gives up time at T11/T12 and takes it back immediately
