Charles Leclerc gains massively through the corners, while Sergio Perez’s higher speed approach to the corners isn’t enough to make up the time:
Max Verstappen maintains slightly more speed in approaches to corners, and gains speed on the long straights, while Carlos Sainz gains through many corners:
The graphs are made from telemetry from FastF1 python library. The speeds have been limited to a range of -10 km/h to 10 km/h, so the darkest color doesn’t necessarily represent an exact 10 km/h speed difference. (Otherwise, the graphs are mostly white)
