Di Resta's a bit dull aint he
you realise hes trolling? and here is why
alonso set his fastest time at lap 41 or 16:15:19 (china time)
trulli set his time at lap 53 or 16:37:36 (china time)
22minutes passed since alonso set his fastest laptime now how much fuel do you think he burnt off? i bet its much more than 7 tenths
I don't get why the time at which the fastest lap was set is relevant. They both did the same amount of laps, Trulli was faster fair and square?
Because 22 minutes later in the race he will have had significantly less fuel on the car which means a lot less weight and i'm sure you well know how much difference weight can make to the performance of a car.
so what? both drivers went through stages of carrying a heavy fuel load, both drivers went through stages of having worn tyres, both drivers went through periods where traffic wasn't helping
There was a couple of shunts near the end where bits of front wing were shed.
What caused that one?
No, we should compare them on time.
Sure, it's a nice little soundbite for Lotus but there's no point getting carried away, it's not really as impressive as it first sounds.
I'm just saying you have to bear these things in mind - the laps were not set under equal conditions - pretending they are directly comparable is just misguided. One car was ~40kg lighter when it set it's fastest lap, on a car weighing 640kg minimum that's a very substantial difference.
