  • This is the race as you saw it, in real time and no normalization. Max started on medium tires, made one pit stop under SC and finished on hard tires. This was the winning strategy. He lost the lead after the pit stop. Oscar also on a one stop strategy started on Hard and ended on Medium. He didn’t have the pace to challenge Max.

  • VER shows very strong pace through most of the distribution, but in the fastest percentiles (right tail) he was not as quick as NOR, LEC, or PIA.

    Nevertheless, VER converted consistency across the range into the race win, aided by strategy.

    PIA was comparatively slower in the middle quartiles.

    RUS and ALO lacked the distribution depth required to project into podium contention.

  • Q1: VER benefits from track position and strategy. One-stop runners (VER, PIA) gain relative time; two-stop strategies lose ground.

    Q2: VER and PIA remain clear of traffic and preserve position. The field begins to separate by strategy execution.

    Q3: VER, NOR, and LEC exhibit consistent pace in this quartile. NOR loses relative ground; RUS and ALO are slower across the range.

    Q4: LEC, NOR, and PIA converge in pace but lack the closing performance required to challenge VER. VER regulates pace and extends the gap without added risk.
