Let’s take a look at the Top speed (km/h) for each lap of the 2023 Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, which took place last weekend at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal:
Top speeds: it is not surprising that Alex Albon was tough to pass! 345km/h top speed
Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton rarely got DRS + tow, which explains their low top speed. Esteban Ocon, instead, simply had high drag: no surprise he could not attack Alex Albon
Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso had DRS, while Max Verstappen got the DRS on one lap (when lapping back markers), that’s why his speed is higher in one instance.
Red Bull RB19 vs Ferrari SF-23 (Sergio Perez v Carlos Sainz): the two are practically matched, and the Red Bull RB19 had a higher load wing
