Interesting stats - however, one thing to add to the mix is that it appears that some of those most capable of burning outrageous laps, such as Alonso, have been dialling the revs down once in secure positions to save the engines for the two race format.
Trulli did the same and settle for second rather than potentially harming his engine. Mike G said from the pitwall they were operating on orange and didn't want to take it in the red.
So, it is possible that fastest laps do not tell us who's car is really performing well at the mo.
