Enjoyed the thrilling #MonacoGP Qualyfing?
You'll enjoy this thread then!

Let's take a look at the telemetry of the three best #F1 cars to understand their main strenghts and weaknesses😉
(1/5)

First, a look at the minisectors:
-Ferrari and RB dominate the straights: Ferr is faster in the beginning (better traction and higher power/earlier power deployment), RB is faster in the end (lower drag)
-McL was close in laptime to RB, and the best car in the slow corners!
(2/5)

The speed trace confirms the minisectors:
-LEC had the best acceleration out of corners, but the RB reached the highest top speed
-RB struggling in the slow corners➡️Lowest minimum speed
-RB was gaining a lot in the second part of the lap, but lost it all in the last corner
(3/5)

Driver inputs (click to expand)
-This is actually the first GP in which LEC completely lifts of in some corners! Previously, he always kept some throttle to influence the car behavior
-LEC is able to accelerate sooner
-Ferr and McL can brake later than RB
(4/5)

And that's it!💥

Did you expect something different from this qualy?
Surely the McL resurgence was a surprise: the car has high inherent drag, but in Monaco the impact is lower
