Post-race breakdown
Our analysts dissected every stint, every tyre call, and every decisive move to reveal how the weekend swung. This is the sharp, lap-by-lap story of who truly had the pace and how the pit wall shaped the result.
Long-run averages exposed a quiet domination in clean air, while midfield runners traded tenths in traffic. The data shows the leader’s advantage was built in the opening 12 laps, then defended through controlled tyre management.
The decisive call was a short first stint to unlock the undercut window. Two teams gambled on the medium-to-hard switch, but only one had the front-left wear under control to keep the pace alive late.
Pit stop timing created the critical overtake opportunities: three-track-position gains were made in a six-lap span, while one mistimed release dropped a contender into dirty air and erased a podium shot.
Lap 38: the safety car compressed the field and flipped the tyre delta. The leader stayed out, the challenger boxed — and the restart was decided by sector one traction.
