@brakeboosted@RedTifosi16@GiulyDuchessa@RosarioGiuliana Not fully representative, Hamilton was around 2 seconds behind Russell in some dirty air in that 2nd stint and was forced to do similar lap times to him as there was no way to overtake or get close on similarly aged tyres.
@TrackSimsF1 Apex speed is useful, but “solid overall proxy” is overstating it a bit, especially in linked corners where entry and exit matter as much as minimum speed. Like turn 6-7 — I'm sure Hamilton was faster there than the graphic suggests because he was slower in turn 6 for a better 7.
@TrackSimsF1 You’d need a fixed segment time. Measure the time from a set point before turn-in to a set point after exit on every clean lap, then compare the average/median — lowest time = fastest through that corner over a race distance
@TrackSimsF1 Apex speed is useful, but not the best standalone metric. You can be quick at the apex and still lose time on entry or exit, so time gained/lost through the corner would be a better comparison if you can do that in the future.
@hugoolul That could be the issue too but Gray or Sarr aren't good enough on the ball to play as the 6. Selling Højbjerg and Lo Celso was a mistake, we've lost a lot of quality on the ball.
@hugoolul That didn't caught my eye in that goal, instead us giving the ball away unnecessarily leading to a transition that was difficult to defend. Lack of discipline what Ange has been talking about.
