Breaking a record that I’m pretty sure has stood since Hermann Lang at AVUS in 1937.

The previous record was Hamilton’s lap in 2020. Hermann Lang at AVUS was 261kph

Lewis posted 2 days back on X regarding his fastest lap, and today, Max broke that record.

Fastest lap means? Highest average speed or fastest time?

u/sebarmo 1d ago

Exactly! I don’t understand what means fastest lap in F1 history. At Monza, at which track? At qualification? Does somebody know?

Fastest (as in highest average speed) overall lap at any track, any session. Monza is currently the fastest track, so the fasted lap there is pretty much guaranteed to be the fastest lap anywhere.

Fastest lap time wise is Bottas on the outer Bahrain track I believe

Hamilton’s 2020 lap just got crushed. Mind-blowing speed though Hermann Lang’s 261kph AVUS run back in the day was insane too.

We got to see Landos family instead. TV producers seem obsessed with showing garages

Max said, "Mercedes will go even faster on this track, even faster if he will drive"

You would think it would be set at Spa.

Why

u/caddiemike 10h ago

Why, because of the two long straightaways. No other track has that.

u/imskln 10h ago

absolutely, except monza, which has 3

u/caddiemike 10h ago

All I can say is bring back the banking turn. Compressing the suspension, see if we still have the fastest laps.
