No smoothing has been applied, so they are pretty "pointy" and "erratic", but it does show a bit the difference in pace.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

That spike from Vettel at the end of his final stint is interesting.

Thanks,
Max and Seb's last stint: clearly masking pace, Seb did give us a pointer at least.
also in their first stints, they do not improve pace but keeps a constant pace. masking the two most obvious gauging conditions, Full tank and Low tank.
