It seems the telemetry of both Red Bulls and both Ferraris' fastest laps was not completely accurate. It could be due to problems with F1s API, problems with the way fastf1 processes the API data, or on-track data capture. For now, I don't know and I'd rather not put up inaccurate fast lap comparisons. Apologies for that, I'm sure that's what everyone would like to see the most. Anyway here's Esteban Ocon's fastest lap compared to George Russell's fastest lap.
Next, a comparison of George Russell's fastest lap and Fernando Alonso's.
Valtteri Bottas vs Fernando Alonso...
Team mate head to head
Lewis Hamilton vs George Russell.
Ocon vs Alonso.
Bottas vs Zhou.
Alex Albon vs Nicholas Latifi.
Nico Hulkenberg vs Lance Stroll.
