"norris produced the fastest fuel-corrected race pace of anyone at spa and finished seventh, six places below his measured speed, the largest pace-to-result gap of the race and the data’s verdict on mclaren’s strategy error."
"correct every driver’s racing laps for fuel burn and rank the field on true pace, and the fastest car at spa was not the winner’s. it was lando norris’s mclaren, which finished seventh. six places separate his measured speed from his result, by far the largest disagreement between pace and position in the race, and the telemetry’s cold quantification of what andrea stella has already conceded: mclaren left norris out for a virtual safety car window that never returned."
"norris started 13th after a power unit grid penalty, cut through the field, briefly led, and had podium pace to spare. strategy, not speed, wrote the seven next to his name, and the fuel-corrected table is the proof his team principal did not need but the record now holds."

lando on how self learning PUs affected his season after disrupted running:
"honestly, it's been costing me the whole year.. i've had the problems all season and this is the first race i've been the one that's like, 'oh i'm happy in the straights for once', and it was the first time oscar was the one a little bit on the back foot in qualifying. but it's also not up to him. it's just down to the power units doing whatever they want"
