Fastest laps - 'Who is who'?
From F1-live:
Quote:
Most of it is shown thruogh this statistic. But, Coulthard and Pizzonia???? Coulthard - almost a full second slower than Kimi? Pizzonia - 1.4 on Webber? I can understand this kind of things in quals, after all, it's only one try, and smallest slide can get you far behind. But race? In Monaco you have 78 attempts, and you get allmost or over a second behind your teammate? Maybe this can say who is who in their teams, and Pizzonia really should worry about his future, while DC just mught consider retirement. I mean, I wouldn't keep a driver who is that slower in 'typical driver's' track, would you? |

The first fastest lap in the race was set by Ralf. It was in the 19's. Laptimes gradually lowered to 15's, but since Pizzonia retired quite early, it isn't as bad as it looks.

But Webber retired at roughly the same time!

5 laps is a considerable distance in the early stage of the race in terms of tyres heating up and getting into the groove. Plus Pizzonia was stuck behind -I believe- Villeneuve.

The Minardi's were'nt on the same strategy, they where going for only 1 stop.

Another example, Panis was lapped 4 times. In fact Firman who came in 2nd to last lapped him long before the race ended. However, his time was just 5/10ths faster. Fastest lap is just about the most useless bits of information produced in a race. Last edited by neilap; 2 Jun 2003 at 22:19. |

the Kimi lap was great 0.25 faster than MS, what were the first qualifying times in comparison and the previous lap record.

Interesting that Ralf was so fast at the end of the race - what went wrong for the other 76? This stat is slightly damning for DC, he was stuck behidn Trulli the whole race though, and his lap time is just ahead of Jarno's. |

It's true, DC stopped on the same lap as JT both times. How gutted must he have been?
