Hypercar
The average lap times
#83, has as often been the case doesn’t hold back as much in practice. Kubica can’t help himself? Sensible practice laps going through a program? As long as I can nail it!
Talking of nailing it, #15 had the fastest time here, but that lap was disqualified. It is a good reminder that due to the laziness of the author these laps are included. They give a better representation, or something…
#83 shows a pretty normal approach of a qualifying practice at the beginning of fp2 and fp3.
#12 did five less laps than #83 and less stops. This is particularly noticeable in fp2.
#15 had a (disqualified) qualifying run, but had to get back to race stint testing after its lack of running in fp1.
The fastest laps generally come early in fp2 or fp3, showing that this is the standard time to practice your qualifying.
