Top Speed Comparison #13 - Monza
Top Speed Comparison #13 - Monza
These comparisons only use the top speeds recorded through the regular speed
trap during the Saturday Qualifying sessions. This means that, at most events,
there are comparisons that are fairly meaningless because of some problem that
affected one or more drivers during one particular session.
The first table compares the 2006 team/driver combination with the equivalent
2007 team/driver - the same driver if possible, otherwise the 2006 driver is
compared to his 2007 replacement. This analysis is intended as a team comparison,
but the first table is also of some interest - but should be read with caution.

The second table compares the best speed achieved by each team (IE both drivers),
and, as such, is a better
measure of the year-on-year change.

The second table ranks the eleven teams in order of the largest increase in
top speed, with Super Aguri making the biggest advance at Monza, and Red Bull
the smallest. (At some events some teams have failed to better their top speed
from 2006.
Here are the rankings at each 2007 event to date together with the average
ranking for the season to date.

Note: Toro Rosso, Williams, Red Bull & Spyker have all changed engine supplier
since 2006.
The + or - indicates a gain or loss in average since the last GP. A gain is a
fall in average and a loss is an increase - obviously :-)
There have been some events where two teams were equal (to two decimals of
percentage difference) and have been ranked equally (BMW and Renault at
Silverstone is an example).
