Sky did a full in-car lap yesterday, and ran a side-by-side comparison. The R25
looked vastly quicker than today's cars, but was between 5 and 7 seconds a lap slower than the modern cars - even the backmarkers were quicker.
It's a short wheelbase, it's narrow, it's between 100-150kg lighter but it doesn't have the downforce or braking capability of the modern cars.
Still looked - and sounded - brilliant though!
