📊 JAPANESE GP - RACE | Hamilton's Power Issue

Hamilton was right: he had NO POWER to defend from LEC and RUS! 🪫

LEC reached 317 km/h without slipstream or overtake mode, HAM just 307 (Lap 42).

And that's nothing: LEC reached 330 when in HAM's slipstream, but the latter didn't exceed 306 when the roles inverted!
(Lap 43, and RUS overtook him.)

Behind HAM, LEC gained 0.391s on the main straight.

Behind LEC, HAM LOST 0.250s (while RUS gained 0.529s).

So:
- For some reason (bug?) HAM didn't have the ERS power needed to defend. ❌
- RUS could overtake HAM more easily than LEC did... even though he was 0.144s further behind on the straight! 🚀
