ALO v LEC
This has to be the more interesting comparison
.
* AM is real fast.
* Ferrari has great exit of the corners as LEC is on the throttle faster, albeit just slightly, in almost all of them.
* Even if Ferrari is faster on the throttle, it doesn't translate to extra acceleration and speed, which IMHO is a lower engine mode.
* Top speed is slight advantage for Ferrari, but only at the end of the straight, suggesting to me a lower engine mode paired with better aero efficiency of the car
* ALO upshifts faster, but they are running Merc's engine which has much shorter ratios, he's upshifting a smidge faster than HAM, but in line with whatever engine mode HAM was running.
I think AM will be behind Ferrari come quali time, but that AM is very close, good job to them.
