Hamilton vs Leclerc speed trace from the Dutch GP. Note this is not their fastest lap; it's their aggregated MEDIAN lap - a median speed reading from every 10 meters of track. Charles takes ~0.5s from his teammate in S1, before Lewis claws it all back. 0.035 between them... show more

Are you intentionally trying to confuse us with the colours here. @LewisHamilton takes it by 0.035

@LewisHamilton That's fair honestly.

@tinyshils @LewisHamilton but Charles' time it says next to his name is faster this doesnt make sense

Yeah I understand the confusion. The issue is that the final gap number at the bottom is colored red/green to indicate of the 1st driver is ahead/behind. It makes sense with most matchups, but I agree, here it clashes with the Ferrari red and makes it confusing. TY for the feedback.

@ahmadbinehsan @tinyshils @LewisHamilton But even your telemetry is all wrong. Leclerc and Hamilton's sectors were never more than 1 tenth apart

@ahmadbinehsan @tinyshils @LewisHamilton That's not true. Lap 33, for example, the gap in S1 was .793.

By far the best driver pairing on the grid. Even without the best car, they can fight with the McLarens and Mercedes

This is what is causing the little princess of monaco to lose his mind, he is being matched by a 41yr while he is supposedly in his prime

Hamilton should be marked yellow, since he's the number 2 driver

I think it's a meaningless comparison. They used different tires with different strategies. Leclerc used the hard tires for 10 laps or less, while Hamilton used the softs for 24 laps.

So you're saying Lewis is quick where it matters and all we need is an engine on the straights? Monza ..
Do you think it's driving style or setup preference?

You got the colors backwards

It was obvious Lewis was faster. When Lewis had 7 or 8 fresh tires offset, he caught up to Charles very easily, but when Charles had the seven lap tire offset with even less fuel on board, he didn't catch up onto Lewis day enough until Lewis was being slowed down racing George
