Interesting issue, I can't find a very authoritative source. I went with this: Red Bull "Fastest F1 Records" (http://www.redbull.com/us/en/motorsport ... f1-records)wesley123 wrote:I believe Barrichello clocked 380kph in 2004
What happened in 2005--Fastest ever lap – Juan Pablo Montoya, 2004 Italian Grand Prix
The record: 262.242kph (162.950mph)
In 2004 Formula One cars reached their peak of performance, smashing lap record after lap record throughout the season. During qualifying at that year’s Italian Grand Prix, Juan Pablo Montoya set the fastest lap in Formula One history, a record that still stands today.
The Colombian lapped Monza in his Williams FW36 with an incredible average speed of 262.242kph (162.950mph) during the first part of qualifying, but despite setting the record, couldn’t match his time later in the session and qualified second for the race behind Rubens Barrichello.
Highest top speed – Juan Pablo Montoya, 2005 Italian Grand Prix
The record: 372.6kph (231.523mph)
A year after setting F1’s fastest ever lap, Juan Pablo Montoya returned to Monza to set another all-time record during the Italian Grand Prix weekend, hitting a top speed of 372.6kph (231.523mph) the fastest ever recorded in Formula One.

My best guess is that it provides a solid baseline when they are testing other components or setups.
