Vale on kuitenkin ollut hyvin lähellä tallin nopeinta kuskia ja kun kuski on äärettömän nopea, ehkä nopein, niin ei se Vale ole huonosti suoriutunut missään nimessä.
Jos katsotaan esim. aika-ajojen eroa tallilaveriin, niin, niin Vale on pärjännyt ihan ok. Kisavauhteja on edes turha spekuloida, kun Valella ei ole ollut missään vaiheessa, ekojen kisojen jälkeen, edes mahdollisuutta haastaa tallikaveriaan. Tästä on talli pitänyt huolen ja siitä tuskin tarvii edes väitellä.
Kun katsoo vaikka Checon eroa Maxiin, jota täälläkin edelleen moni pitää hyvänä ja Valea parempana, niin alta näkee, että vauhti on ollut hitaampaa, kuin Latifin vastaava Russeliin. Tai McLarenin kuskien ero ja Ric on ollut täysin hukassa koko kauden.
Aivan turhaa sontaa saanut Vale niskaansa.
Mercedes: In 2020, Hamilton outqualified Bottas 11-5 by a median gap of 0.087% in the dry.
In 2021, Hamilton is outqualifying Bottas 10-3 by a median gap of 0.199% in the dry.
Red Bull: In 2021, Verstappen is outqualifying Perez 12-1 by a median gap of 0.509% in the dry.
Ferrari: In 2021, Leclerc is outqualifying Sainz 10-3 by a median gap of 0.174% in the dry.
Mclaren: In 2021, Norris is outqualifying Ricciardo 8-5 by a median gap of 0.307% in the dry.
Alpine/Renault: In 2021, Ocon is outqualifying Alonso 7-6 but has been 0.022% slower in the dry so far. This becomes 0.033% in Ocon’s favour removing the second Austria race, but Budkowski denied any issues on Ocon’s car during the press day at Silverstone and that all changes were a precaution. I could also exclude Bahrain, although Ocon was still over half a second off on the first runs alone so the final outcome wasn’t really affected by any issue Ocon had at the end of Q1 so we must keep it in for fairness.
Aston Martin/Racing Point: In 2021, Vettel is outqualifying Stroll 8-5 by a median gap of 0.074% in the dry excluding Bahrain and France. Netherlands is still included, as Vettel was not improving on his time anyway before he hit traffic and it didn’t make a difference to the outcome.
AlphaTauri: In 2021, Gasly has outqualified Tsunoda 13-0 by a median gap of 0.578% in the dry.
Alfa Romeo: In 2021, Giovinazzi has outqualified Raikkonen 9-2 by a median gap of 0.493% in the dry.
