The data that shows Piastri has edge over Verstappen and Norris in F1 title fight
@Source: smh.com.au
The current era of F1 cars was supposed to reduce the negative effect dirty (turbulent) air has on overtaking. Unfortunately, what started fairly well in 2022 has regressed. Qualifying is again even more critical for deciding a race. This is especially true given how small the performance gaps are throughout the field.
The truest measure of any driver is how a driver fares against his teammate. That is no more exposed than over one flying lap. Currently, Piastri leads Norris 4-2 from five main and one sprint qualifying sessions and is on average 0.15 seconds faster than his team-mate.
Verstappen, meanwhile, has a perfect 6-0 record and was 1.4 seconds faster than Liam Lawson on average and is currently 0.7 seconds faster than Yuki Tsunoda. Clearly that is impressive, but it is not comparable to the two McLaren drivers because of the calibre of the driver in the second Red Bull.
