QATAR GP - SPRINT | TOP SPEED PER LAP
VS TOP SPEED IN SPRINT QUALI

HAM’s poor top speed in Sprint Quali pushed him to switch rear-wing spec, costing a pit-lane start.

He went from slowest to fastest (despite using DRS for only six laps), yet felt the car was overall even worse!

Charles Leclerc, stuck in traffic, hit 339km/h.

RUS held a 5 km/h edge over PIA (neither used DRS).

Expect Ferrari and other struggling teams (imagine saying that 12 months ago) to experiment further in quali!
