No, I'm saying I'm surprised they haven't released what they measured..... especially considering the timing system is potentially being called into question.

As for 'speed they were doing' that's not measured, so there's no point asking for it. Average speed is derived from the time taken to transit 5m, the penalty derived from the assumption that an average speed above the limit means peak speed had to be above..... a small but important difference, given it's absolutely possible for a car entering pit lane at 60km/h to not be penalised, where a car enter ring the lane at 45km/h is..... but that's an issue for another day.

For removal of doubt, what I'm saying is: DJR with the presentation of their data has likely raised a fair amount of doubt in Average Joe Punters mind. To me it's surprising that the official response in public has been more deflect and obfuscate than what you'd expect from an organisation with absolute faith in their data..... why wouldn't they publish every transit time from the race? As you've alluded to, it's hard to argue against the system that gave you pole....
