  • This is the Pace view of the race. The lap times are normalized to isolate tire and fuel use. There is great consitency in the 4 frontrunners of the race. It is also evident that RUS and ALO didn’t have the pace, probably due to an inferior package.

  • Q1–Q2: VER benefits from track position and a one-stop strategy. Pace order stabilizes early.

    Q3: A clear pace hierarchy appears: NOR and LEC lead, followed by VER and PIA. LEC’s pace profile exceeds what the race result alone suggests.

    Q4: The hierarchy holds into the final quartile. NOR and LEC retain the strongest closing pace; VER remains consistent but lacks top-end pace. RUS and ALO remain outside the leading pace window.

  • Q1: Clear advantage to one-stop strategy and track position. VER, PIA, RUS, and ALO occupy the leading pace band.

    Q2: RUS and ALO lose relative pace and drop from the leading group.

    Q3: VER shows strong mid-range pace and gains relative position within the distribution. NOR and LEC close the gap to the front of the pace order.

    Q4: Pace ordering stabilizes. No material reshuffling occurs in the closing quartile.
