Race pace laptimes dont really tell us what the 'fastest' car is, ie; Im sure Lewis could have given us a fastest laptime if he really had to... at the unwanted expense of reduced tyre performance later in the race.

I remember McLaren's getting fastest race laps last season and many were suggesting they had the best car but Red Bull had the best driver making the difference. In reality it is how you say and a fastest race laptime tells us nothing if we want to compare performance in a reliable sense.
