“Filling the performance gap is part of our work,” said Cannizzo. “We have to find the right solution to get closer to the best-performing cars. We will try to exploit our strengths and minimize our weaknesses.

“[Power Gain] is certainly important. At a track like Le Mans, we are above 250 km/h for 45 percent of the lap, so you can draw your own conclusions.

Ferrari said that 45% of the lap is spent above 250km/h so I used this to compute a weighted average power level for the full lap ( I previously did this calculation with an estimate of 60%, so that was too high). It's a little bit murky because you are not always using the throttle when you are above or below 250km/h (you can be above and braking or above and lifting, and the same below).

Nevertheless, the result is below for what it's worth:
