Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Each driver's fastest lap from the last segment in which they set a lap time (Q3 for the top ten), so the comparison uses the laps that set the grid. Pick any two drivers. Distance comes from the speed trace, scaled to one common lap length, so the gap at the line equals the difference in lap time. Telemetry from OpenF1, sampled about four times per second, so short brake taps and gear changes can fall between samples.
