It finally happened: the W11, the fastest #F1 car ever designed, was beaten! 🤯

PIA beat its laptime by 0.742s! ✅

⬛️W11 (2020): quicker mostly in the medium-speed corners and changes of direction (54kg lighter).

🟧MCL38: unmatched aero efficiency thanks to ground effect! Way less drag with DRS open (+12km/h top speed) and more peak downforce (was as quick in Pouhon: the additional downforce compensated for the added mass)!

This is the first time this happened, and Spa was the ideal track for that (fast layout ➡️Ground effect cars' high efficiency shines; it was also resurfaced in 2024).

Which record will fall next? 👀
