  • PACE Timeline — Chronological Pace

    PACE tells the same story as RACE, but with less distortion.

    The times are normalized for fuel and tire evolution, so the curves are flatter. The race shape remains, but the natural degradation slope is removed.

    ANT is still the clean reference. Even after normalization, his trace stays strongest through the useful phases.

    HAM and VER run the next fight. VER gets track position, but HAM’s attack is controlled and the pace trace supports the late pass. By lap 62, the move for P2 is not just position. It is pace becoming result.

    LEC runs a clean race, but does not match HAM’s normalized pace. That is the Ferrari point again: same team, different extraction.

    HAD loses too much in the race entropy, but his normalized pace is better than the live story suggests.

    COL closes the published group, helped by the McLarens removing themselves from the comparison.

    The chart confirms the same race reading:

    ANT clear. HAM and VER close. LEC next. HAD better than the result noise. COL in the mix by circumstance.

  • PACE Distribution — Clean Pace Envelope

    The PACE Distribution is the sharper instrument.

    ANT is clearly ahead. He owns the pace envelope across the useful range, not just at the fast end.

    HAM and VER overlap for most of the chart. The difference is small, but the edge goes to HAM. That supports the late pass and the final P2 result.

    HAD runs a strong race underneath the noise. He is close behind the HAM / VER layer and edges LEC on the fast tail.

    LEC is solid, but not sharp enough here. The clean pace does not match HAM’s Ferrari reference.

    COL is not really in the mix. His curve stays detached from the front group.

    The clean pace order is:

    ANT clear. HAM / VER close, edge HAM. HAD strong. LEC next. COL detached.

  • PACE Sorted Time — Integrated Clean Pace

    The sorted view adds one nuance.

    ANT lost time in the RUS fight. The early scuffle cost him, but it did not break his race. Once the laps are integrated, he still commands the full picture.

    ANT, HAM, and VER sit on the same main envelope. ANT has the best final signature, while HAM and VER remain close enough to explain the podium fight.

    LEC is not a podium challenger in this view. Clean race, but not enough accumulated pace.

    HAD has good speed underneath, but he lost too much at the beginning.

    COL does not have the pace to belong in the front group.

    The integrated pace reading is:

    ANT still commands. HAM / VER close. LEC not enough. HAD compromised early. COL off the front pace.

  • Dartboard — Pace Fingerprint

    The Dartboard shows the full sorted-time data as a circular fingerprint.

    The center is tight. ANT, HAM, and VER sit close together through the main arc, confirming the front pace pack. The margins are small, but ANT remains the cleanest reference.

    LEC runs just outside that center group. He is competitive, but not quite in the podium pace envelope.

    HAD is the interesting recovery signal. He starts far out, carrying the cost of the early race entropy, but his curve pulls inward as the data moves through the faster percentiles. The pace was better than the race position suggested.

    COL stays farther out. He is present in the published group, but not really in the front pace fight.

    The Dartboard version is simple:

    tight center for ANT / HAM / VER, LEC just outside, HAD recovering inward, COL detached.
