How does the fastest lap of the whole weekend (3 practice sessions, 3 qualifying
segments and the race) compare to the fastest lap of the weekend in 2007?
Here are two tables - one compares driver with driver; easy enough if the same
driver remains in the same team. If not compare the 2007 driver with the guy
who replaced him.
'S' is the session when the best lap was achieved (P1/P2/P3/Q1/Q2/Q3/R)
'Lps' are the total laps in all sessions (2007 excludes any third drivers)
'Diff' is the gain/loss in seconds
'%Diff' is the difference in time as a percentage of the 2007 time
Negative Diff/%Diff mean that the driver/team improved. Positive means they
got worse.
There can be several reasons for the variations seen.
Apologies if the tables wrap - save it and reformat if you are interested.
Note: Spyker-Ferrari was renamed to Force India-Ferrari, all other teams remain
the same.

Notes
=====
The bottom four drivers were slower than in 2007 - Super Aguri are in the place we
would
expect, but McLaren obviously need to find some more speed.
The second table takes the best lap time from both drivers in each team and compares
with
the equivalent team last season. Probably a better comparison.
