None of the values given in these speed traps matched the real speeds of the cars. In FP1, there were cars on medium downforce reaching higher top speeds than others on low downforce. In qualifying, when everybody was on medium downforce, some of the top speeds were plainly impossible to achieve with the gear ratios for this downforce level. Not even with a massive tow.
It was a shame, given that speed traps are normally not available,, even though it's been a common request from the teams over the past years with all the engine problems that has plagued the series.
