2026 · Round 16 · Race fastest laps telemetry

Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia

Sepang International Circuit · Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Each driver's fastest lap of the race. Fuel load, tyre age and traffic differ from lap to lap, so a race lap says less about raw pace than a qualifying lap; the tyre on each lap is listed below. 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.

Driver A · solid lineDriver B · dashed line

Track coloured by the faster driver in each of 24 equal mini-sectors (dashed: driver B). The white bar is the start/finish line.
