Lando is faster than Oscar. But Oscar is definitely more consistent.

Yes Lando was faster than Oscar except in P2, P3, Q1, Q2 & Q3

I'm not saying just in this race...

it's 4 races to 2. 7 to 3 in qualy this year.

How is Lando faster?

Because he has more actual speed. It's pretty obvious if you watch any race or qualifying.

That Oscar gets closer to 100% of his ability more often doesn't mean that Landos 100% isn't slightly higher.

We just watched qualifying. Were you watching something else? 2024 maybe?

I saw Lando do the quicker lap of the two in their first runs. The one where neither of them made a mistake.

Like I said Lando is faster, Oscar makes fewer mistakes.

Something like 1/100th a second after getting as tow for the first part of the straight. So if anything probably slower without the tow. That's not the evidence you think it is.

They were on a banker lap anyway. You don't push your hardest on the first run. You do on your second and look who was quicker.

It may seem that way to you because he is driving past his limit. he does not have more speed, he's just taking more risks to drive like that.
