He's pulling away at the front. He isn't carrying a problem, or at least not one that's causing him laptime.
He's losing 0.3-0.4s every lap trough tunnel, how's that not losing time? He's compensating elsewhere.
This is gasly running in clear air:
283 kmh


and this is perez at 2s distance to car ahead
283 kmh
He was often slower in S2 in qualy , so its maybe just a more draggy redbull
You're saying perez with the same car has 15 kmh less drag on car in monaco where everyone runs 100% full downforce :shock:

~15 kmh down every lap so far.

Perez currently in slipstream has a top speed around 285 kmh. When he was 3s behind vettel he was at around 280-282 kmh.

Bottas can't keep up with Verstappen and that could very well be because of tyre managment. Basically the entry to the tunnel is pretty much the hardest piece of track for the rear tyres, because it's the longest acceleration from quite a slow speed.

Bottas just has unbelievable bad luck on pit stops. This is incredible.

What the F is the director doing? Cut away to a pointless replay at the moment of real racing.
