Surely easy way to work that out is look at the laps where he was flat through eau rouge and see what the difference he lost/gained on himself by lifting and going flat.
Fairly easy comparison.
it's not nearly that simple. The rb-19 and every other car on the grid would have been set-up differently.
I’m on about how much laptime the RB was losing relative to themselves (and others) just through the first sector alone.
If what you say is true, it would be impossible to compare race pace between teams. There are countless examples of that each week. How much time RB chose to drop through eau rouge, whether it be down to accidentally running a couple mm’s too low or any other reason is easy to work out.
I’m certain there will be 1 lap where either RB went flat through eau rouge/kennel straight in the each race window that the lad mentions in the video. Compare the delta to that lap where they were flat and one with lifting and see what they lost.
He says they were dropping half a second to the likes of Hamilton and leclerc whisky lifting. Reverse the question and ask how much time would they have gained by going flat out.
