Top Speeds - Istanbul Park

Brian Lawrence 12 May 2008 13:20:09
 I posted these comparisons throughout the 2006 & 2007 seasons to illustrate changes
in top speeds as measured

through the speed traps. In previous years
I restricted the comparison to speeds recorded during the three segments of
qualifying, since the best laps are usually recorded in those sessions. For
2008 I propose to consider the top speeds recorded in the other sessions
(free practice and the race).

The first table compares the 2007 team/driver combination with the equivalent 2008
team/driver - the same

driver if possible, otherwise the 2007 driver is
compared to his 2008 replacement. This comparison is intended as a team
comparison, but the first (driver) table is also of some interest - but
should be read with care.

Notes

All teams have retained their names except for Spyker-Ferrari which has become
Force India-Ferrari.

'S#' Session in which the top speed was recorded (P1/P2/P3/Q/R)
'Diff' difference in top speed (km/hr)
'%Dif' difference in top speed (as percentage of 2007 speed)

I don't have the speed trap data for the 2007 race (I do have all data for
practice and qualifying).

S Aguri-Honda Davidson Q2 316.9
S Aguri-Honda Sato Q1 317.1

Only eight driver combinations went faster, while twelve were slower.
Note that 15 drivers set their top speed during the race - probably because
the wind was weaker on Sunday than on Friday & Saturday.


The second table compares the best speed achieved by each team (IE the top
speed of both drivers), and as such is a better comparison.

Only Ferrari, Red Bull and Williams were faster.
