Stroll was six tenths slower per lap on the same tyres. The car didn't lose this battle.

Hamilton was 0.237s quicker than Russell over race distance and led briefly after the stops — from pole, he wins this going away.

Norris was 0.8s faster per lap and still finished 37 seconds behind — because someone on the pit wall decided two stops weren't enough.

Russell was over a second faster than Piastri in Sector 2 alone — that's not a car difference, that's a different category.
