More data.
Firstly, the six best drivers in this particular "fast laps" stat in each GP so far:

I have done a little retouch in the way I get the mean of the best 25% of driver's laps. Formerly I completed missing laps with "infinites" ( a lap done at 0 mph have a laptime of "infinite"). Now I just calculate the 25% of the existing laps. I find this is a better procedure, the former penalized too much those drivers who have retired from race. This is the reason there are some little differences respect the first post in this thread; no big deal, anyway.
Secondly, I have done a sort of WDC classification table counting those average best laps instead of race results. So we get something like a WDC classification in terms of race pace. I'm fond of the "classic" scoring system 9-6-4-3-2-1, so I have used it in this calculation:
Code:
A M B S M C U
HAM 4 4 9 4 6 9 9 = 45
ALO 6 9 3 6 9 4 4 = 41
MAS 2 3 6 9 4 3 3 = 30
RAI 9 6 4 2 0 0 6 = 27
HEI 1 2 2 0 0 6 2 = 13
KUB 3 0 1 1 3 1 0 = 9
KOV 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 = 4
ROS 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 = 3
FIS 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 = 2
BUT 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 = 1
McLaren drivers lead clearly, Raikko is near Massa. KubiK defends well (3 to 4) against Heidi
, Kovalainen is doing well against Fishy. Button has done a surprising appearance (in the chaotic Montreal race).
Thirdly, team mates comparisons. Here some minor differences can be seen respect the first post (because of the change of method).
Code:
ALO-HAM 0.01
MAS-RAI 0.02
HEI-KUB 0.36
FIS-KOV 0.16
ROS-WUR 0.75
WEB-COU -0.28
TRU-RSC 0.26
BUT-BAR -0.17
SAT-DAV 0.12
LIU-SPE 0.46
SUT-ALB 0.33
In general terms, those are close gaps, extremely close in Mac and Ferrari in fact (interesting in the case of the last mentioned team). Exception is Rosberg against "poor" Wurz. Coulthard leads Webber, but their results have been a bit unstable at the moment, with some "rare" races. Let's see how it goes, though. More or less the same about Barry leading Button.
Well, ok, I'm going again into my tomb
because the Moon is rising quickly.
