hi guys,
i did a performance analysis of Paul Ricard race in my Blog:

What Akrapovic said is pretty much confirmed by my analysis, with just a bit more numbers on the back.
Although i didn't speak about it in the article, SMP car could run a bit longer on a tank of fuel, but probably mainly because of a more aggressive strategy (probably they were able to use really nearly all the fuel they had in the tank and could take the risk of stopping a bit later already at the first pit stop).
There are anyway some other interesting points, including the crew composition and the pure pace of different cars.
