I'd rather think that Minardi's most significant finding is that VET was much smoother in that sector. Being smoother allows you to step on te throttle earlier and thus get away quicker. Add to that by being smoother you are faster through a corner in general, you can pick up lots more time.

I wonder why today a 2.5s gap on a very long lap today always results in accusations of cheating, while the same gap over the direct teammate and reognized one of the best ever on the shortest lap in GP racing 25years ago was the best lap ever driven, "godlike". This in particular as Rosberg was suffering from tire wear and holding everyone else up, meaning the gap is larger than it should have been.
Good points!

It would seem that Seb has no business being as good as he is!

My point in an earlier thread...

Vettel is the most precise driver I have ever seen!

... and I have been around a while now!
