Only 9 laps into the race, the Malaysian GP was stopped due to the rainy conditions, only to be restarted one hour later. It wasn't however any less interesting, with Alonso eventually winning the race after withstanding intense pressure from Sergio Pérez. Lewis Hamilton finished third after an unspectacular performance.
Why do you count in 2 stint that included pitstops and recalibrations for some drivers - it makes the list virtually useless for the sake of comparing potential race pace.MGPW03 wrote:My 2 cents.
Note:
1- Pit in and out laps are excluded from lap counts and averages.
2- Button, Hamilton, Schumacher, Rosberg, Grosjean, Raikkonen & Hulkenberg - Only 1 Last Stint Included.
3- Vettel, Webbber, Alonso, Perez & Maldonado - Last 2 Stints Included.

E.g Alonso's "2 stints" includes somekind of a 6 lap run plus a 3 lap quali run - and this is to be compared with someone who run a 15 laps straight run?MGPW03 wrote:

Exactly and thanks CHT for clarifying on my behalf.CHT wrote:I believe MGPW03 is comparing race pace with heavy fuel load, rather then low fuel flying lap.hollowBallistix wrote:Your 2 cents about what exactly ? I don't get it...
What are your times based on ? becasue Hamilton was doing 1:38's in both FP1 & FP2
The table only includes lap times from the end of practice session 2 when they were doing long runs. I am not trying to suggest anything either way. If anything it suggests that my favorite team MGP is slower than midfield. Should it be a dry race, then I can look back at it in retrospect and perhaps then it could be more useful.chepoi wrote:if Lewis doing 1:44.790... how come lewis is the fastest in FP1 & FP2? biased? and i think we have to scrapped this data. not enough data.
maybe the correct word from this so called data is "Red Bull is better than Mclaren"
Some of the laps were obviously one-offs but in others it was tight so it was difficult and I did not want to distort the original data. Thanks to Mestrades for linear regression lines because linear regression is widely used for trend analysis. Although I must say, Mestrades, you have been trying to spread a lot of disappointment with regard to Mercedes. I don't want to get involved in any debate but I can tell you even if Mercedes is the worst team on the grid they would still be my favorite. The only thing that could disappoint me is if they have been deliberately telling lies but I have no reason to infer that they are doing so.Blackout wrote:You can't include the 1:48 and 1:46 laps in the average...
To be honest, it is useless in a way because fuel loads and tyre info is not available and there could be even more variables.GTROM wrote:Why do you count in 2 stints that included pitstops and recalibrations for some drivers - it makes the list virtually useless for the sake of comparing potential race pace.
