In extremely challenging conditions, the quickest lap of the Brazilian Grand Prix was over ten seconds slower than last year.
While neither Mercedes driver needed to push hard at the front of the field, the fact both Red Bulls appeared at the top of the lap times table indicates they had the pace to take on the Mercedes drivers.
Third for Max Verstappen and eighth for Daniel Ricciardo has to be a disappointment. Both, of course, tried to use the intermediate tyres and then had to pit again to get rid of them.

Hi Keith, discovered your website today. I think it’s great! Very nice stats and graphs.
Could you tell me where I can get the raw data behind the lap time chart? Best regards, Carlos
