Although that does give you a bit more opportunity to bring the average of your top 50 down, I suppose.  Don't think that is happening here.
They are more evenly matched than most cars, especially when you look over many laps.
| Driver | Grade | Fastest Lap | | Ave. Top 10 | | Ave. Top 50 | | | Filipe ALBUQUERQUE | p | 3:32.692 | 0.429 | 3:33.585 | 0.407 | 3:35.307 | 0.524 | | Philip HANSON | g | 3:32.263 | 0.000 | 3:33.178 | 0.000 | 3:34.783 | 0.000 | | Fabio SCHERER | s | 3:33.126 | 0.863 | 3:33.449 | 0.271 | 3:35.077 | 0.294 |

This gives some idea:
| Driver | Total | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | | | Fabio SCHERER | 100 | | | | | | | | 12 | 12 | 11 | | | | | | | | 11 | 10 | | | | | | | | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 | | | | | | | | Filipe ALBUQUERQUE | 100 | 10 | 11 | 9 | 9 | | | | | | | 12 | 7 | 1 | 8 | | | | | | 1 | 10 | 11 | 11 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Philip HANSON | 128 | | | | | 10 | 11 | 11 | | | | | | | | 11 | 11 | 11 | | | | | | | 11 | 6 | 11 | | | | | 11 | 11 | 1 | 10 | 2 | |
Albuquerque might of had 50 good condition laps after his first stint. However, only just so they all had to count in this measure. And how many had lots of traffic and slow zones? It is also clear that his second stint wasn't straight forward.
Although it is worth mentioning the 10 lap average is 0.4s down too. |
Trying to nail this down some more.
The chart below shows the lap time (s) for each lap and when they occurred. It is certainly true that Albuquerque's ability to get 50 good laps in was compromised by him only getting one decent go in the better conditions (189-221). This started with that odd 1 lap stint! The other two had more time and later in the race when there was more green flag running and better track conditions.
I suspect the Top 50 is compromised for many drivers in many cars in this simple view.
Top 25 would have been better to do, I think. Even then it will never be perfect. So, I view this as an indication and not conclusive proof of anything, but I think we were already there on that. This goes some way to demonstrate that.
Good challenge there Simmi. Thanks
