Don't forget that the track was re-surfaced for this year - appears that everything has been running quicker.
Your last point is about the nature of competition, motor sport and the constant desire to improve - regardless of whether it's for a trophy, to go from 20th to 10th place or a big bag of cash, it is why many are in the sport at all.
