See this is why I said people need to watch a bit more carefully. You made that up from an idea in your head - the cars do not gain 3 car lengths on straights. Watch the distance carefully in on board shots. You're seeing what you want to see. Cars naturally spread out as they go faster - a 1 second gap at 250 km/h is larger in distance than at 100 km/h.

Again you're just making a proclamation. You have no evidence for that. Its like saying if FPR didn't have wheels on their cars they wouldn't be doing the times they are.
I don't think HMS have the same or less horsepower than others. I just don't think its a huge variance. Its very easy just to say "well they have more power, what can we do?".
