  • SPEC Timeline — Driver Extraction

    SPEC normalizes pace by each car’s reference.

    The order changes.

    VER is the strongest extraction trace. He leads the SPEC group most clearly after the resets and stays best in the final stint.

    ANT is next. Strong early, strong late, and still close to the front after normalization.

    HAM also improves in SPEC. He sits close to ANT through much of the race and finishes ahead of the lower group.

    LEC and COL run in the next band. Both lose ground after the major resets and do not match the VER / ANT / HAM extraction layer.

    GAS is detached. He stays highest through most of the chart and finishes outside the main fight.

    The SPEC reading is simple:

    VER extracts most. ANT / HAM next. LEC / COL behind. GAS detached.

  • SPEC Distribution — Extraction Envelope

    SPEC sorts clean pace after normalizing each driver against the car reference.

    VER and ANT define the front of the extraction envelope.

    ANT is strongest at the fast end and finishes with the best final value. VER is strongest through much of the middle range and stays close across the distribution.

    HAM sits next. He is competitive through the useful range and improves late.

    LEC and COL form the next band. Both are close through the middle, but neither matches the VER / ANT / HAM layer.

    GAS is mostly detached, though his far-right tail improves sharply.

    The extraction order is:

    ANT / VER at the front. HAM close. LEC / COL next. GAS behind.

  • SPEC Sorted Time — Integrated Extraction

    SPEC Sorted Time integrates the normalized extraction curve.

    VER is the strongest reference. His curve separates late and finishes best. In SPEC, he extracts the most relative to the car.

    ANT and HAM form the next group. ANT is strong across the full range. HAM stays close and confirms a solid normalized race.

    COL and LEC follow. LEC remains competitive, but does not match the VER / ANT / HAM extraction layer.

    GAS stays highest for most of the chart and finishes detached.

    The integrated extraction order is:

    VER clear. ANT / HAM next. COL / LEC behind. GAS detached.
