No I didn't. Took the times from f1debrief

I don’t understand how this shows poor pace for Ferrari then - I made Vettel’s average 1:21.4.

How did you arrive at an average of 1:21.4 if 29 of the 66 laps he did were between 1:23.x and 1:22.x and the other half were in the 1:21.x with only few dipping below? Or did you only average his last stint?

PS: I am not sure what the point is of comparing averages anyway. Much better would be to compare comparable stints with each other to get comparable numbers for similar fuel loads on the same tires. Comparing Bottas and Hamilton would be rather interesting too.

Well that’s why I want to get the raw data for all runs - I must have missed something.

Ps: I don’t necessarily agree - they’re going into different tyres at different stages of the race/fuel levels; even if you’ve got younger tyres and have to nurse them longer, you can still be going slower. To me, the point is to find out who’s stronger over the entire race - so total time or average time.

In a form I can copy paste into excel? An image isn’t that helpful if you want to do your own analysis.

Vettel's race sim avg was 1:21.93 over 59 laps (one lap in traffic included)

I suggest checking the AMuS ticker or going through this topic when people posted the stint times.... I'm actually working on one myself and hoping to plot a graph of vettel, bottas and hamilton and max. But someone will probably beat me to it... If I come across the raw numbers, I'll post them here.

F1 debrief on Twitter has all the raw times.

Why do you hope to have another boring champioship? I hope to have MB, RB, Ferrari and McLaren at the same level

No, no you haven´t understood me. I mean, if Mercedes is so dominant(something I do hope it won´t happen) we will need Bottas to be, at least, at Nico´s same level if we want to have some excitement.

Any idea what this whining noise is on the
force india? Three
people i spoke too at the track can hear it quite clear. Maybe gearbox?

Vettel's demeanor and body language here are worrying.
