looks like Piastri paid for not having a slipstream on his fastest lap. Most time was lost on the straight.



edit: checking again, neither had Norris though. I thought he was closer to Piastri

Are you basing this comment entirely on the trackmap colors? Those are approximations and usually not that accurate in F1-Tempo btw. You should look at the telemetry and usually completely disregard track colors actually. It's just a "pretty" feature. From the telemetry, there's no difference between them on the straight and there was no tow on either of their final laps. They were completely alone in track.

Oscar loses a lot in T1 braking and T2 exit and he carries that all throughout the lap. Loses another half a tenth in the last couple of corners, but the big difference is at the start of trhe lap.

my impresson on TV was that Piastri was in no man's land, with Norris a couple of seconds behind, still somewhat benefitting from him. And I saw that confirmed by the data.

But yeah, checking the coverage & tracker again, Norris was too far away to really benefit more than minimally, if at all.

Oscar mentioned that he had a couple of bad moments that cost him, looking at the telemetry you can see those moments. They aren't big, but they were costly and you see them at the first and last corners. Unfortunately I haven't seen his lap.
